Go to the LEM SwapList. There are waay more people on that list than there
are on the Vintage Macs list. Also, go with a 500 MB HDD. You'll need it if you
will be running games. There are processor upgrades for the Classic I think.
You will definitely want to max out the RAM to 10 MB. If

An LC1 can use a 56K modem. So you can get 56K speeds. As for a

No need to clean out the HDD. It's probably dead. As for the boot disks you
will need a Mac with a Superdrive (because it reads and writes to 400k, 800k,
