| 65671 | 2002-07-26 07:26:00 | I need to change the ctrl-g (bell) sound at the dos prompt for a windows PC. It makes a quiet click and it needs to be noisier. Even at full speaker volume it sounds like a key click. Any ideas? robo. |

| 65672 | 2002-07-26 07:35:00 | Use a Teletype ASR33 . That has a real bell which goes "BING", when you hit BEL . It had to be loud enough to wake up the operator at the other end . VT200/300/400 terminals also had a proper piezo beeper . I think that these wimpy PC machines have the bell function done in the processor box, not in the keyboard . Looks like a chance to use ANSI . SYS again . That would let you redefine the key so it plays the 1812 Overture . |
