I got a 1987 Mac SE from a church sale a while ago. It came with a keyboard and mouse and a fully-functional classic Macintosh OS installation. I have been able to use this Mac for several months. However, today I tried to turn it on and got a floppy drive with a question mark displaying on the screen. It was unable to boot to the desktop. The light on the hard drive is flashing three blinks and a pause, which I believe indicates a hard disk failure.
My Mac has a built-in hard drive and a floppy drive. Besides the mouse and keyboard, there is no other hardware connected. Also; it is a non- FDHD older version; it cannot handle any floppies over 800 K. The hard disk itself is 800 K, but I do not know if it is original since I've only owned the Mac a few months and have no prior information about it. Is there anything I can do to rescue it? If not, can you offer any advice concerning hardware replacements? Thank you. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
