Download an app that lets you play chords, then do a C major, 2nd inversion, using Kalimba as the voice. Pick a lower octave.
Yeah, that should be the new chime

portent said:Mactracker (link below) will let you look up any Mac model and play the startup sound. It's worth the download just for that. And yes, according to Mactracker's database, the Power Mac 9500 was the first model to have the current startup chime, back in 1995.

IJ Reilly said:Changing the Mac's POST chime now makes sense, seeing as how the boot ROMs will be different with the Intel Macs.
Where did I say they did; I said all PCI Macs have Open Fimware. I never said they were all NewWorld machines. By the way, you're slightly wrong about the B&W being the first NewWorld machine too; the iMac (released ~7 months prior to the Yosemite) was actually the first NewWorld (Open Firmware 3.x) machine.jane doe said:Not all PCI PowerMacs had the New world Rom. The beige G3 was PCI based but still had the Rom chip on the board. This is why on the original G3s OS X was limited to the first 8GB of the drive with no way to change that limitation. The New world roms did not arrive on the PowerMacs until the Blue and White G3.
I wasn't talking about feature completeness from that point of view; I was talking about a complete IEEE-1275 compliant OF implementation with no dependency on the Mac ROM. OldWorld ROMs had significant issues with reading data from filesystems other than FAT12; the ROM had to be specifically told where to look for data in an HFS filesystem to be able to read it, which is one of the main problems presented when using anything other than OS 9 on an OldWorld machine (OS X uses the Mac OS ROM to configure booting, which is why you see a happy Mac, followed by a reboot to the grey OS X boot screen when first booting OS X on a Beige G3 or Wallstret). The Boot Manager and Firewire TDM are merely conveniences bolted into the ROM by Apple. Thery're nothing to do with having a complete, bug-free OF implementation.Even with the New World Roms in the B&W you still missed functions of the Open Firmware you have today. It was not until the AGP based G4s did you have the boot manager and Target Disk mode

Since the Power Mac 6500 series came after the 9500, how does that make me wrong?Macmadant said:wrong my powermac 6500 has the same start-up sound as my 8 month old ibook g4
