My experience with MacinTalk on new machines is that *any* system beep
but the built in beep will hang the machine.  That is, any sampled
sound.  This is probably due to contention between the new Sound Manager
and MacinTalk, which wants to directly control the sound hardware itself.

I make sure to select the default system beep before I run something
which requires MacinTalk.  This is with System 6.0.7.  The situation
will only get worse with System 7.0, unless Apple comes up with another
MacinTalk that behaves itself.

BTW, MacinTalk 2.0 isn't really any different than the previous version.
Open 'em both with ResEdit and compare the DRVR resources.  Same size.
