[QUOTE="Koitous, post: 1413271, member: 256509"] I did some more research. Turns out there IS an ethernet port. It's just an AAUI Ethernet port, which needs an adapter (~$10). I know this thing isn't worth anything, but I love old technology. I'd LOVE to get a hold of an old PowerBook Duo, just to say "Yeah, I've got a laptop from 1995". Now as for the OS 9 disk, how would I go about booting from it? I'm new to Macs, and thus don't know how to get to the boot screen. All of the drives I have are SCSI, but I don't have one less than 40gb. Do you know of a place where I can get low-storage HDDs? [/QUOTE]
