Choosing a startup beep sound

Your computer beeps when you start up the Apple IIe Card. Also, many programs

are designed to play a sound when an alert message is displayed, or when you

give a command that the computer cannot recognize.

You can choose one of several options for the beep sound. You can choose the

same beep sound you hear on an Apple IIe computer, the standard Macintosh

beep, or any other sound that appears in the Startup Beep Sound box. To avoid

annoying delays, it's a good idea to choose a short sound. The Apple IIe

Option Panel is preset to use the standard Apple IIe beep.

To choose a startup beep sound, follow these steps:

1. Press Control-Command-Esc.

The Option Panel appears, with the General Controls panel displayed. The

pointer changes to a crosshair when you place it in the General Controls

panel.

If you are a floppy disk startup person, you have only two beeps to choose

from.

2. Scroll if necessary to find the name of the beep sound you want, then

click the name.

The sounds displayed in the box represent the sound files contained in the

Macintosh System file. Any sound you add to your Macintosh System file is

available as an Apple IIe beep.

When you release the mouse button, the selected sound plays.

After you close the Option Panel, your choice remains in effect until you

choose a different beep sound.

You can add your own beep sounds by using the Macintosh Sound control panel

and the microphone that came with your Macintosh LC.

!! IMPORTANT: If the speaker volume setting in the Macintosh General

Controls panel is set to zero (that is, if it is turned off), the computer

will not beep while in the Apple IIe environment. !!
