I think I may have fairies of some sort living in my 486 PSU...
Recently bought this 486 and have done it up, with SOund card and CF + gotek driver.
Loving it, apart from... when I first received it there was sound coming from somewhere. like a HDD loading or I dunno... like the LED flicker that sort of noise. I put it down to the HDD....
There was also a spectrum loading sort of sound when booting... it comes to the testing HIMEM and there is load a spectrum loading sound effect as if I was loading jet set willy!!!
THen in games, I hear faint little beeps and bops trying to do sound effects of current game but really poor...
I finally put sound card in other day, nice and fine yet this loading sound at HIMEM still happend and all the weird flicking / beeps as if something was loading.... realising I have a CF adaptor I'm little lost to where the sounds are coming from. I ran my ear all over... and it's not coming from the speaker... seems to be hovering around the PSU!
DOes this 486 have a magic speaker inside the PSU?!?!?!
Everything seems to be running fine, games (apart from the odd crash which i guess is expected), I see no issue with power or anything............
I then finally put case on tonight, thinking it must be PC Speaker.... realising as I closed case it was unplugged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now plugged in I get a clear BEEP from it at start up which I never got.. but I still get this specturm loading sound effect at the HIMEM test and still in games in the background, over the speakers using sound card... it's annoying now.
WHere is it coming from?!?!?!
