A person I know found an Eagle II, it seems busted but just to be sure does anyone know what it should do when it boots up without any disks (I have no OS or software for it).

Check me out at Transcendental Airwaves on Youtube! Fast-food sucks!

Probably very little, but if you search on Google there appear to be sites supplying the Eagle CP/M 80 disks that may work.

I own an Eagle II, it runs CP/M software, the Eagle needs to boot up from a floppy disk. Sounds like your friend's Eagle II still might be functional, but it needs a floppy disk, I believe 5 1/4" single sided, double density. Some computer museums are seeking Eagle II computers for their collection, so you might tell your friend to donate or sell it instead of junking it.
