Playing with IIci ROM - other death chimes

I realized that MPW comes with a ROM map for many Mac machines. In the ROM map, I found two other death chimes in the IIci ROM. They're mostly the same but they start out slightly differently. Thought this might be interesting to hear...

0:35 sounds like "Oh! I've got an idea-- just lost it."

@shadowboy1693 That's a good way to put it!

@deathworm101 I showed each command I typed on the black title screen before each chime. They are in the form "G 12345678"

so i need to press the Interrupt Key during the boot?

when not HOW???

[doogulass]

@bilcza You can press it at any point while the system is running. I tend to use it after the machine is booted. I just pressed it during the boot process this time so I wouldn't have to wait for the full boot. To be technically correct, if you press it too early (like before the Welcome to Macintosh screen) it will just cause the chimes of death to play though, so you do have to wait a bit.

What was typed into the debug prompt to cause these other two similar death chimes to play?

@bilcza Old World ROM Macintoshes have what's called an Interrupt Key, which is less so of a command prompt and more of a prompt to use PEEK/POKE functions.

how did you get the command promt????
