Hello all, Just inherited a 165c in great shape. It has system 7.1 on it and 4 Mb of RAM. I have manuals, but no original disks.
I'd like to get it hooked up to my home ethernet/DSL connection with a browser installed if possible, then download various games, apps, etc. Is it hopeless? I have experience with PCs and Linux (homemade linux firewall) but am totally new to Macs. So many questions I don't know where to begin! Here are the first few: 1. Seems I should start with a scsi->ethernet adapter, made by Asante. If I can get one, will that work with system 7.1 and 4 Mb RAM? 2. What browser, specifically version number, if any will work best with my configuration? 3. Once I start downloading things, I think I will need a newer version of Stuffit. I currently have 2.0, but most things require 5.5. But 5.5 requires System 7.5.3 - which I think is free, right? How do I do the upgrade? Or would that be a mistake given the small RAM I have? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. If these questions are already covered in an archive, could someone please point me there? Thanks!
