What I'm proposing would have no effect on those beeps as they are
controlled by the BIOS before the PC even discovers that the hard drive
contains Windows.
What I'd like is a more musical beep when my code uses:
Call Beep 262,400 /* Middle C, roughly, for 400mS */
I have a variation on the code above that plays "The Girl from Ipanema",
which I used in the office as retaliation against people whose mobile
phones kept going off.
I'll just dust off my "C Programming Language" book, and write a better
beep.sys — it's hardly the most complex driver.
