While disassembling a boot loader for ccpm I found an incoherent section of code which turned out to be an easter egg. I tried it while booting Concurrent DOS 4.1 on my IBM PC. If you tap the ? a few times while it shows 'Loading CCPM.SYS' you get a couple of beeps during the following message which then disappears:
'Much of this code was brought to you by... Dean Ballard'

It's fun discovering this stuff 40 years later.
