I recently attempted to install the BeepInit INIT resource into the new System 4.0, and the disk would no longer boot. I contacted the author (the same people who bring you SoundCap) and they advised me that there IS some incompatability between the current BeepInit and System 4, and they are looking into it at this time. Hope this saves someone else some effort. Sincerely, Jeff Harrow, Digital Equipment Corporation

This system will be frozen so that not even the interrupt button (with TMON installed) will recover, a reboot is required. Users can easily reproduce this by bringing up the control panel and merely pressing on the volume control slide bar a few times in quick succession. While this doesn't affect most programs since few generate beeps rapidly, terminal emulation does run into problems since hosts can generate lots of beeps.

I'm using the BeepInit that was modified to work as an init 31 file in the system folder and it seems to work fine. I got it off of MACUS DL2. Cheers, -- Robert N.
