Mac LC II - newbie
Good morning, Would you please give me an advice what is the most recent operating system that I can use on a Mac LC II ? I mean use with a decent speed ;-) It is the old, small, model with monochrome monitor, BNC Ethernet adapter, etc. What I am primarily interested in is to send/receive e-mail and browse the Net using a connection through LAN (normal Ethernet shared with some PCs, a router, etc.). Is there any supplemental software I do need? Thanks a lot, Razvan -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

For e-mail Claris E-Mailer or an old version of Eudora (pre-4.0) would be ok, I have run both in 7.1 on an SE/30. For web browsing iCab is aboutt he only good browser that still works with anything, but you'll need some extensions for it to run - details are no doubt in the FAQ. Is there any supplemental software I do need? If you get the right ethernet card (i.e. Apple or Asante MacCon) you don't need any drivers, just the Ethertalk Phase-2 extension included with Sys. 7.1. -- Mark Benson Vintage Macs List Nanny http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson http://fpm.gotdns.com -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I'll agree that 7.1 is about as new as you want to go with this machine. You can add alot of the features that 7.5 has if needed. See www.macfaq.org for details.

If you use Claris Emailer 1.1v3, the dates may be wrong (Y2K problem?). There's a patch for it, but if you'd rather not tinker with it, I can email you a copy of the hacked version. Email me off list if interested. However Emailer 2.0.3 is a much nicer program, and if you can find it, You'd probably be happier with it. J White Buy American S.O.S.
