Apple III+ questions

Hi, Got a Apple III+ yesterday, not sure if it works, haven't powered it up yet, it was such a mess that I'm working on cleaning it up first. I just cracked the case open and notice that it has three AA batteries in a battery holder between the floppy drive and the power supply. They're in front of where the cards go. Finding AA's strike me as more than a little odd! Is this a user modification? Also I've been lucky enough to get a Profile drive with it, and the controller card is in the computer. As I've said, I've not powered the system up yet, is there anything here I should be aware of. Does it boot off of the HD or just the floppy? I do have a boot floppy, but I've no idea if it's any good. Zane | Zane H.
