I'm afraid in that case, this one's outside of my own somewhat limited 
area of knowledge.  AFAIK the loader uses the BIOS to process the keyboard 
input, a wall I've been banging my own head against lately, so I'm a bit 
surprised that it's stopped playing; but beyond that, I'm not sure. 
Hopefully one of the more knowledgable types will wade in at this point...
