Firstly, I have no prior experience with these systems and couldn't find a manual (or really any information at all) online.
That said, my 575 boots to a question mark. I've been trying to boot from a CD-RW in the CD-ROM drive, but that doesn't seem to work (and when I eject the CD, it's still in the same position as when I put it in). I'm assuming then that the CD-ROM drive is non-functional. How would I go about fixing that, and is the only other way to install an OS using a floppy disk? I found this link but have no real wish to write to 21 floppies (I'd much rather just fix the CD-ROM drive and boot off of that if possible). Also, what is the best OS to run?
Thanks - I'm sure much of this is common knowledge, but I just for the life of me couldn't find anything!
