I'm not even sure that IBM1S506 supports this, although it's possible that
the IBM guys integrated this from the code Daniela shared with them.

Danis506 will beep if it encouters I/O errors. I'm not sure what the beep
characteristics are.
Remind me, is the a Warp4 or eCS box? Daniela made some changes to v1.81
for ACPI compatibility and I think this required an updated Daniatpi.flt.
