I got an old mac 512k, and when i try to turn it on, a
dead
man appears
and a number is show.
(The number changes every time I turn it on.)
Can it be because there is no keyboard?
Trying to boot from a hard disk? Don't do it -- at least until
you bring it up from a floppy. Trying the same floppy over and
over? Try a different one. If that doesn't work, clean the
heads on the drive, and try again, etc, etc... :)
Remember that it takes a relatively old OS to boot a 512k mac.
I have images somewhere of 0.97 (I think :) which definitely
would do it.

Chris
