Basically, the blinky-LED and the screen background color tell the
initiate how far a sick machine gets before it craps out.  The
shift-lock LED on the keyboard also indicates keyboard problems.

The audio stuff is supposed to be the opening notes of some classical
theme, but since it's part of the boot ROM's, it dissapears when you
have kickstart in ROM.

Sorry for not posting the details, but I don't have them at hand and
will have to do so on another day.
