I have a compaq portable 1 and recently tried to boot it up and have been met with a diskette error saying "Diskette error replace and strike any key when ready" The computer came with a Quadram ram expension card which lost its clock oscillator, two floppy drives, and a 48MB Kodak memory expansion card. How do i fix this error?

I have a Compaq portable 1 that i've had for around 7 years. So far all it's been doing is sitting collecting dust. The computer itself has a 28MB Kodak Memory expansion card, an intel 8088 CPU with a 4.7MHZ clock, 640 KB of ram, and two floppy drives. Is it possible to get a small Linux distro to run on the computer if so how would I do it?
