Hello,

I have just got a Apple Macintosh plus.
I know, I know, it's shit but I like it.

See my problem is that when i start it up it keeps looking for a disk. There is a disk with a question mark in the middell of it.

is there something i can download or some i can do to fix it WITHOUT throughing it out!

Thank you,
Buzza

That comp. certainly does not suck!

First off, wa that ? mark means is that it is looking for a startup disk. There is no OS installed, or it is corrupted.

To remedy this you should get your hands on a Mac Startup disk, for Systems 6 or (preferably) System 7.

Alot of these are freely available online as diskimages, if you can get on a Mac with a diskdrive you can d-load and mirror those images to disk. There are ways to do this on a PC as well using 3rd party apps.

Do you know if your Mac has a HD? Some of the early modles didn't come with them standard. In this case you may wanna look on eBay for an external one. They came in 50MB to 100MB varieties.

So your set, all you need is a startup disk. I would suggest System 7.1 or so.
