-You'd better mask off all but the low two bits, and preserve the high six
-bits of the port's value, or you'll be doing quite a bit more than making
-noises on the speaker.  Most clones use one of the bits in that port to
-switch between 4.77 and turbo speeds.  And the other five bits are also in use.
