I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut it down. Is that normal? Click to expand... Is that in addition to the standard beep, or instead of? It sou…

I would love to hear that noise, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to download that AIFF file!

I'm not really concerned, I won't be using OSX with it much at all. Thanks for the info though, kind of a shame to think OSX makes so many invisible files.

Also formatting floppies in OS X is a bit hit-and-miss. It won't do the part where it goes back and eliminates bad blocks. You also don't get the 100% same full capacity for some…
