Are you sure it's not a 512Ke? "The original 512K could accept
Macintosh system software up to version 4.1... With the OEM 800 KB
Drive and ROM upgrade kit a 512Ke could accept up to System 6.0.8."

just for the technical fun. Hosting one page is enough.
I have a bare bones HTTP server and a POSIX layer to run it in,
currently ported as far back as System 7.1 on a (virtual) Mac Plus --
except that it only supports Open Transport, not MacTCP. In addition
to adding MacTCP support, it would need to be patched for System 6
compatibility, and even then it's not likely to run with less than 4
MB of RAM in its current form.
Though if you just want a static page and not CGI scripts, that
simplifies things...
You might take a look at Lamp (Lamp ain't Mac POSIX). Run it on your
Quadra (with Open Transport), choose File->New (which creates a new
shell window) and enter `inetd`. That runs httpd on port 80 (and a
remote shell server on port 23, so you might want to edit /etc/
inetd.conf first to disable that). The Web document root is /var/
www. You could also try it on a Mac Plus running System 7.5.5, though
you'd probably want to quit the Finder: `quit MACS`. I don't know if
you'll have enough RAM, though.

As I told you I connected a SE and later a Mac Plus to a Quadra via
LocalTalk with IP routing on it. So I can talk TCP/IP over localtalk
and
bridge it to and from the Internet.
Red is the rose,
And blue is the sky;
You are insane.
(And so am I.)
If there is some web server software which runs on System 6 I even
could
think of connecting a 512K or 512Ke on the Internet.
Besides adding MacTCP support, I'd have to patch Lamp for System 6
compatibility and create a separate distribution which is stripped
down to the bare essentials. It might even work.
It would also be very
nice if somebody would be able to port some small C program to
System 6, but
Do you mean Mac applications, command-line tools, or something else?
And ported from what?
who will be able to do something nowadays...?
I'm sure there's at least one. ;-)
