Titel:

My PowerBook 170 turns on and shows a flashing question mark

Tekst:

I'm receiving a flashing question mark on top of a floppy disk icon when I boot up the PowerBook 170 I recently purchased. I bought this from someone off Facebook Marketplace who sold it for their grandpa after it sat in a closet for 25 years. I had to buy a new AC power adapter (7.5V@2A) for it in order to get it to boot as it was not included. I take it to mean that the operating system is either missing or corrupted but I'm not sure as I am new to the classic Mac hobby. I don't currently own any hardware for making floppy disks to re-install the OS either. Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated!
