As I said, this may or may not be relevant!

It has made me step back in time. :-)

As for relevancy ? I'm just out for a build-in method to generate some
sound outof whatever is present on the motherboard as a "hey, I need some
attention" signal, as my soundcard is connected to headphones, which I do
not hear when I do not have them on (which is most of the time). Being
able to play some distinguishable "notes" is already an extra.

Does your motherboard (well, case) _have_ a speaker (or piezo sounder)
connected to that 4-pin header? If so, does it make _any_ sound - e. g.
during initial boot, before Windows starts? If it is there but doesn't
make any sound, is there anything in the BIOS? (For example, can you set
the temperature alarm threshold low enough to trigger the "overheat"
signal, if the BIOS has that function.)
