Re: Possible new virus?

[Tomas Wolf <tomas () skip cz>]

If I remember corectly that each signal from speaker means something. 
I'm several years out of this, so I don't remember what means what, but 
maybe a board manual will help to determine what it means... I think 
that memory failure was one long, and video failure was longer and two 
short ones, but I might be wrong... It's been a while :-)
Good luck -- Tomas
