I remember
accidentally doing this, is this what caused the smashing-glass
sound to come from the machine? I remember my friend and I were cracking up
pretty hard when we heard that.
The smashing glass sound is a pretty standard Mac sound for many
models when something goes wrong in the boot process. I would _think_
you need a CPU to get it, but there can still be something
substantially hosed (i.e., no chance of video, no disks, no RAM...)
just as long as the CPU can read ROM and write to the sound chip.
Correct, a dead CPU = no glass ^_^
You also hear chimes of death on earlier Mac models. Spooky.
