That was my guess, but both drives I have had worked earlier in the day in

I have another 701c that I am now working on
getting running. It was
working but now all I get is a couple beeps and then it asks for a
floppy. Its such a nifty looking little machine. Its a shame its all
plastic.
Couple of beeps followed by floppy-prompt is IBMese for "no bootable
device found".
Sounds like there either isn't a proper boot sector on the hard drive,
or the hard drive is dead.
