Dear Sir,
I believe your 5400 was a recalled item. All of those types of all-in-
ones had the same screen issues, and I'm not sure if this is correct
or not, but I think you can send that in to Apple and they will fix it
for you, because it was recalled. Can anyone else out there verify
this for me? Maybe you could check into that, because my Dad had a
Performa 5200CD that he threw away because of the screen issue, and
then a month or so later found out about this recall. I remember that
it upset him a bit that he didn't find out sooner. Now, as for the
Classic and the LCII, either one would do it. You can try to find an
old version of a web browser, like the one I have, which I think is
AOL 2.0 on a floppy diskette, but I would have to check.You can also
get a better browser than AOL, or at least I think it is, but anyway
it's Netscape 3.0. There are also others out there specifically
designed for users of 68k Macs like ours that want to put them on the
Internet. The LC II is a little bit better than the Classic, because
you can see things in color, and the screen is usually bigger, but
that's the only significant difference I know. You can use a modem to
connect the Classic to the Internet, and there is an Ethernet card you
can get for the LC. The strange card you mentioned, if it's what I
think it is, has an adapter you can get for it called the Apple
Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver, which looks a lot like a LocalTalk
connector box, but it is for plugging in a Twisted-Pair Ethernet
cable. The transceiver is pretty easy to find in places like eBay, and
it will run between $5 and $10.
Good luck putting your Macs on the Internet!
-Noah
