* Does not work on 464 and 464+ (which have internal transistor-driven tape drives without relays).
* Does not work on 6128+ (which has no tape drive connector, and thus no relay).
 
== Disc Drive Motors ==
 
The two disc motors can produce some sound: The spinning motor isn't very loud, but the track stepping motor can produce some knock-knock-knock sounds; the stepping rate and number of steps can be controlled by software.
== Printer Beeper ==
Several printers do have an beep function (for example, the [[Amstrad/Schneider DMP2000 Printer]]), producing a beep sound on receiving chr(7).
* Works only if the printer is connected and switched on, only if the printer supports beeps, and only if the beep feature isn't disabled (via DIP-switch).
