Quadra special alternate boot chime

Posted by: slomacuser on 2010-05-25 11:43:18 BootBeep app trigers the secret ROM picture of development team and options a second special boot chime. Beep http://dl.dropbox.com/u/86210/quadra%20beep.mov Tried on Quadra 700 and 950. Watch here interesting interview with Jim Reekes (creator of mac startup sound), interesting part about chime from 13:30 I think that the secret ROM special sound was original sound that the development team wanted to use in Quadra's, before Jim said that sound sucks 😛
