Boot chime works great!

As for any other audio, I usually turn it off to avoid some crashing possibilities.

Yesterday, today, or tomorrow?

It's aiming for accurate support of three hardware platforms; eventually, it should support all OSes those computers supported.

The target hardware is:

Power Macintosh 6100
Power Macintosh 7500
Power Macintosh G3 (Beige)

You can already try out the WebASM version here: https://infinitemac.org/ under Custom:Experimental and play with hardware configurations and OS versions to see what works and what doesn't. And now, you can also try out the Windows build linked in this thread :)

Or, from the link at the top of the page:

Known Working OSes
Disk Tools (7.1.2 - 8.5)
Mac OS 7.1.2 - 9.2.2 (from CD)
Mac OS 7.5.3 - 9.2.2 (from Hard Disk)
OpenDarwin 6.6.2

And now the system complained about the startup disk being newer than the machine supported (i use both 7.5.5 and 7.6.1, which were FYI clearly supported)

You can find the Discord link on the Github repo's wiki.

Also, I wonder which machine you were trying to use.
