Re: help with apple IIc

Yes, that is the normal message if you haven't inserted a floppy to boot
from. It doesn't indicate a bad drive. You can use the BASIC programming on
the computer without a disk, type Control-RESET at that message.

Most of the time you need a disk to use. Do you not have any disks?
