Wow. So this little device looks like it will fit on the 512 if you use a 
DB9 to DB25 converter and plug it in the phone or printer port? I see it 
also has a built in web server, I'm assuming you can configure this from a 
PC, so in theory you could attach it and serve files from the 512 and you 
wouldn't have to add MacTCP to the 512 or anything?

An ethernet card, System 7.5.3* plus the 7.5.5 update
which are free downloads from Apple, then install
Open Transport 1.1.1 followed by the 1.1.2 update.

32meg or more RAM will be very helpful to a good IIci
experience with that setup.

*This is a 19 part (more for some versions) self
mounting image, NOT individual floppy images. You
need to have a drive with all the parts in one folder,
then doubleclick the first part with the .smi
extention. It will mount as a single disk. From there
you can copy out the contents to a hard drive, Zip
disk or other media to install from, or install from
the mounted image.

The 7.5.5 update is three individual floppy disk
images so you have to mount all three with Disk Copy
or make real floppies from them.

eBay, just plug the word NuBus into the search box on
the main page.

If all you want to do with networking the IIci is
internet, then you just need to connect it up to
a LAN with some other box running an internet sharing
service. It's quite easy.

If you want to share files and printers with non-Mac
systems, that gets interesting. Check out

This may be a dumb question but do you mean for browsing or as a webserver?

I've got a PowerBook 100 running a FirstClass server beside me right now
and other than being really slow through the Asante Micro EN/SC it works
pretty good. As others have mentioned you'll need a nubus ethernet adaptor
which aren't hard to come by.

For browsing I have Navigator v 4.08 running under OS 7.6.1 and 14 mb of
ram. TCP/IP control panel is V 1.1.1 and that lets me make a dynamic
connection to our router.

For a server, you could probably run a few different programs. See my
reply to the guy with the 512k, plus if you wanted to do something really
different Telefinder, The Palace and FirstClass V 3.5 would be kind of
interesting if you wanted to do a BBS or chat site instead of a webserver.
Granted all are now 'defunct' though Telefinder is available through
headgap bbs I believe and FirstClass is now stratospherically priced and
owned by OpenText. But interesting possiblilities.

Re: Can someone help me get my old reliable Mac IIci on the web?

2005-03-05 Thread Thomas Burns 
I've got a IIci and an SE being used as a web servers. The IIci has a video 
card, a Turbo601 card, Ethernet card and 2gig hard drive. The SE has a 
DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-T to Ethernet connection and an 80mb hard drive. Both 
are connected to a Netgear 10 base T hub (since the old Ethernet cards have 
trouble connecting directly to a router) and that's connected to a Linksys 
router. The IIci serves up pretty fast, but the SE is dog slow, but it 
works. A good way to move files from your PC to your ci is to put NetPresenz 
FTP server on the ci and just drop and drag files from XP or W2K.

I also have an SE/30 all ready to serve when I get a site built.
And if anyone can think of a way to turn a Mac 512k into a server let me 
know. Alan and Greg came up with some good ideas. I'm intrigued about the 
TCP/IP devices the people are using with TI-99s. Can you tell me more?

You'll need a 10 base-T ethernet nubus card for your mac.  In addition, 
your mac should be running system 7 and be using open transport.  You'll 
need iCab for web browsing.  It will be kinda slow, because I have a IIci 
myself and am able to get it on-line.

I have some NuBus 10mb/s Ethernet cards (Asante brand I think) I'd be 
willing to sell if people on the list want to contact me directly 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with offers. I'll have to dig them out of storage and 
test them before I ship though.
