  • I need the Power macintosh 6100 startup sound in a WAV to my XP startup sound add a link

  • @MrTweety2707

    Google Mactracker.

    It's an app also available as a windows download. Tells u all the History, Specs, Sounds of all Mac Hardware. I assume just as the mac version of the app, you can explorer the apps file contents and should find sounds. That where I got them.

    U have issues then let me know.

  • @pokeeto2 I not found sounds be what made add a link or i leave your supports!

  • @MrTweety2707

    Check out the info box and I added a link to MacTracker

  • Glad you could make use of my LC550 picture from Wikipedia. I was surprised to see it in this cool video. Jay Kells.
