Award i815 BIOS "beep-code" ?

Hey all,

I've spent some time looking for the fabled "secret" audible (beep) error codes for the BIOS in my CUSL2-C, without any real success. Checked my tech references, Awards site, searched here: no luck. And Asus ain't telling. Of course, from the state of their website you could look for years and not find anything useful. :-] Does anyone out there have any good info on this? All I have found that I KNOW is correct is the 1 long/2 short video error code. Perhaps one of you people fluent in French have talked to The MAD about it? It'd be useful to know this for troubleshooting....

TIA

Hey Perry,
Thx for the bioscentral link. That's what I was looking for. Already know about PCguide. Also regularly use "Repairing and Upgrading PCs" (book) from QUE publishing: shame it isn't available online. It's worth the $$$ though.
