        My daughter has a Macintosh IIcx (second hand) that now displays
a floppy disk with a flashing question mark when it is switched on.
        I don't have a rescue disk and I don't know what version of 
the operating system the machine is using.
        Please point me in the right direction.

[1] Can I restore the machine if I buy the operating system disks ?
[2] If so, which version is best ?
[3] How much would this cost ?
[4] Where can disks be purchased ?  (CD-Rom not fitted to the machine)
[5] Is there an internal battery, and could this be the cause of the
fault ?

        Thanks for any suggestions,
--
