The 5200CD can, but it is not nice. I had put 96M into it at the end and a 4GB 5400 RPM HD, and browsing was so painful, I only used it for e.g. checking TV details when my main machine was not available. Mostly I used it as telnet terminal. Starcraft was also not doable. (I like Blizzard games, and the older ones combine Mac and PC versions on one CD) Note that I had to install the ethernet driver myself. Comslot NIC drivers were not included with even Mac OS 8.1. My card was a dayna (or something that sounded like that), and searching for a driver led me to the intel site. After installing that, the network/internet worked (OS 8.1 included open transport) -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
