Version 1.3 (PC)

Information:

 I had always wanted a collection of the Apple Start-Up Sounds.  I have
 never seen one on the Net, so I gave up and digitized my own.  Some of
 the sounds I did not digitize, so I give thanks to the other Macintosh
 users on the Net.  I do not know the naming convention Apple uses for
 the different sounds, so I hope the names I have used are acceptable.
 All recent Macintosh computers have stored the Start-Up sounds, and
 some of the Crash sounds, in the ROMs.  This means I could use programs
 to extract the sounds directly from the ROMs, saving as much quality as
 possible.  I am currently not distinguishing between the *slightly*
 different Quadra style Crashes.

 Some Apple computers may have sounds which are not in this collection.
 If this is the case, I would appreciate being contacted about them.

 The Start-Ups are the normal sounds that occur when any Apple computer
 is turned on.  The Crashes (also known as the "Hawaiian Death Chimes")
 are produced by hitting the Programmer's Key (either by hitting the
 "Reset" button on the computer, or by hitting the "Command-Reset" keys
 on the keyboard) during the first stages of boot up.  It also occurs
 during boot up when some low-level errors occur.

Distribution Request:
 
For those who wish to re-distribute this collection, I ask the following:
  All the files remain intact.
  If the collection is released on any other medium (e.g. CD-ROM), that I am
   asked first.
