Pic taken of a NeXTstation Turbo Color from booting after 17 years in storage

Cannot boot. Also the hard drive is loud!!
What are my options? :(
On the bright side my black hardware has video :)

you can only setup another drive and put that drive in an external case and try to copy all the stuff that is readable from that drive.
BTW, you have a 33MHz station and 100ns RAM - the Turbos can drive 60/70ns RAMs.

Thank you Andreas!
So back in 2000 I bought this without a CD-ROM drive and 3.3 was preinstalled.
Now that I need to replace the hard drive, it sounds like I'll need to buy a CD-ROM drive to install 3.3. Perhaps this is my chance to switch to openstep 4.2
Where to buy a NeXT compatible CD-ROM?
Is network install possible?

QuoteYes, but i have never tried that.

BTW, I'm using SCSI2SD adapter for my NeXTs and can backup the SD cards under Windows.
