Hi guys.
I have an old 1987 Plus which I had left in my basement for about 2 decades. I want to use it again, just to find my old files and have a neat old computer, but I lost the Boot Disk required to start the machine. When I turn it on, the little question mark inside a floppy disk appears, or sometimes an "x" in the disk. Sometimes it doesn't start at all, but rather flashes various pixels on the screen and makes sounds. I tried hooking it up to an old external hard drive I had, but it seems corroded, because the drive doesn't maintain the red light which shows the connection between the machines. If anybody knows a website where I could get more info on my old mac, It would be a great help!
BTW, does the Plus run 800k floppies or 1.44 floppies? I've lost all my 800ks and only have 1.44s left.;P
