I would not be too concerned about this.  It is the sound driver loading in
dos.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Unknown P.O.S.T. beep code???


Beep problem solved- thanks to all of you who ventured an idea or tried to
help in some way.

It did turn out to be the Voodoo3 3000 card, I assume, as the beep stopped
when I switched it out for the Geforce.

While in the case, I finished up on the Promise controller, put each optical
drive as master on each of the motherboard controllers.  Also, ran 3DMark &
PCMark before & after changing the AGP aperature between 64 & 256 (which
there had been a choice of 128)-64 was best.

Removed & placed in an antistatic bag, my 3COM Robotics modem to store- I'm
on cable & figured it might help with any PCI/IRQ snags.

One last thing- & I do not know when this started as I just noticed it
during all of these changes today:

C:\> SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

C:>

A cursor appears & blinks above the "s" on the setblaster line.  This
appears after all of the BIOS stuff & just pre- desktop.  I do nothing & it
just continues on it's way to booting up.

What the devil is this?  I tried looking it up on Google but didn't see
anything that related to my system (I have Yamaha onboard sound).

So, one mystery down, one to go...

Anyone?

PS:  Prayers & sympathies to all connected to or involved with the Space
Shuttle on this incredibly sad & awful day..
