XEN-PCLS no DOS beep

XEN-PCLS Pentium machines with Feature Cards of build level 10 have been found not to beep under DOS until Windows loads the sound drivers.

A short term workaround has been created which consists of a 40byte program called PCBEEP.COM which can be loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT. This program is BETA and should only be used until a hardware fix is available, it can be found in Area 46 of the Apricot Insight BBS.

486 machines are not affected as they have motherboard speakers.
