is it the same issue for putchar(\0x07);

Yes, this is the same character.

wath do you means about "deploys the pcspeaker"?

Write some program that turns on the pcspeaker, waits for a short
while, then turns the pcspeaker off. Then you can just execute that
program instead of your putchar() thing.

I'm afraid you don't do enough damage...

(I like this one as it makes w95 shut down gracefully instead of lock or crash when told to restart)
