Macintosh Classic?

That's antique equipment!

It -might- have something to do with the optical drive (if there is one)...?

Try here:

Found by googling:
classic mac error codes
sad mac error codes


If you're going to spend any real time or money on this antique Mac, you should find a website where Macs of that age are the primary focus. That's going to be something like mac512.com, or lowendmac.com, or similar.

You'll also need to be a little familiar with electronics, both diagnostics and repair.
