The Mac II does this also.  It follows that the Mac IIx and IIcx should too,
probably the SE/30 as well.  I think its pretty neat but perplexing if you 
don't know what's going on.  Apple really should distribute a program that
demonstartes the different "error" tunes so that a user knows that the tunes 
mean something's wrong and doesn't think their Mac is just unusually happy to 
see tham that day.
