Welcome Joey.
Seriously.
I guess it's a 165c you're talking about, yes? If you find yourself any
old Mac monitor (try GoodWill or something) plus a cheap PB monitor
adaptor, you can use the 165c, regardless of the screen.
You can then network the 190 and 165 using a standard mini-DIN8 (Mac
serial/printer cable) which costs about $5. Then exchange data via file
sharing.
It's better to replace the floppy; the 190 modules can be replaced by
5300, 3400 or Kanga G3 floppy modules. These are pretty widely available
from places like smalldog.com and powerbookguy.com. Also try pbparts.com
Probably $20-25? for a new floppy. Someone on this list may have spare.
Cheers,
RD
