Ctrl/Break doesn't beep. Ctrl/G doesn't beep. The machine beeps at
switch-on but only the lower tone, not the higher of the two tones
(this is with no secondary ROMs installed, to ensure Econet is not a
factor). Interestingly, after it has been on for about an hour or so,
the machine beeps once. Does it every time it's left on.
