It’s a common question. By far the easiest solution for regular use is Ethernet. Obtaining the correct expansion card for your Mac is the most significant hurdle. Once you have the Mac talking standard protocols (TCP/IP and FTP), and able to decompress standard archives (StuffIt Expander), you’re golden. You could also obtain a USB floppy drive for your modern Mac. As long as the older one supports HD FDD formats (1.4MB rather than 800K), it’ll work fine for archives that will fit on one disk. This is often the best way to get networking software onto an old Mac that doesn’t already have it. There are other solutions of increasing complexity, but I wouldn’t worry about those unless the above two won’t work for you. - Jonathan Morton -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
