minus-squarecatshit_dogfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoHeck I remember when you had to read “bleep bloops”. POST codes came in beeps, and that’s how you knew why the computer wouldn’t start. Sometimes I miss em, wish it gave those in addition to the modern indicators. Then I could just tell without even looking.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoDo modern PCs even support IBM-style speakers any more?
minus-squarejanNatan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoYes. My latest mobo has the pins for a POST speaker, but didn’t actually come with one. Installed it though and it works.
