Thanks for the reply, Bill.

I looked in "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" also, and I think you're looking
at the Phoenix Bios codes, rather than AMI.

I did listen again, and the beep pattern I got was 2-8-2, which didn't match
any of the listed AMI codes.  I decided to try ignoring the initial 2 short
beeps,
and see what error was describe for 8 beeps in the AMI list.  They indicated
a problem in the video card.  I checked, and sure enough, the video card
wasn't properly seated.

So, I still don't know the meaning of the initial and final 2 short beeps,
but the
problem is solved.

Thanks again for the input.

Barry
