I have a Socket 7 motherboard pulled from some unknown Compaq desktop. The pins on the motherboard are exceptionally bare by the absence of not only a reset switch but also any connection for a PC speaker!
There is an unpopulated ribbon connector which is for something called the "Creativity Activity Center" which I thought might contain a daughter board with a buzzer but grounding a speaker and poking each pin individually did not provide any beeps while Doom ran in the background.
I also tried connecting a speaker to the integrated audio output but there were no beeps there either.
Can anyone confirm whether or not these old Compaq motherboards have no way to connect a speaker/buzzer?
