I found an old mac in a cupboard at work.
It is model IISE.
I started it up to see what it could do.
However it only gets as far as the smiley mac and shows an image that is
presumably a floppy disc with a question mark on it.
I guess it is asking to be booted up from a floppy disc - but maybe I'm
wrong.
There is no sign of any old discs to boot from.
Any thoughts or advice as to what to do next to get it going?

I later found a Quadra - but I have not had time to try to start it up.
