Like a voice saying "error 47"? A good question. If I had to guess I'd say probably either localization concerns or that it was just a continuation of a pattern that began well before BIOSs were large enough to store audio.
- kramerger 3y agoBIOS flash is a few megs larg., I think a few hundred kilobytes would be sufficient for either something generic (error 47, please consult user manual) or something more detailed (internal error, reset from back). Doesn't need to be 44.1K stereo and localised voice
