First off, let me just say that I would reply to this thread from that machine, but it takes quite a while to load/render pages with lots of images. Text pages load quite quickly though. Now to the replies.

The Cyborg:
I does not use a modem to connect to the internet. It uses a SCSI>Ethernet (RJ45 10baseT) adapter made by Asante in 1997. The computer has a DB25 SCSI port on the back. I could use a MacCon PDS ethernet card but this adapter is more versitile. In conjunction with the Ethertalk driver and MacTCP control panel, the SCSI>ethernet adapter allows it to connect to my home network which is on a cable modem (broadband, not dialup) whose speed is 2.8Mbps down and 280K up. The screen is 512x342 pixels

It turns on quite well actually. And so does my Apple IIC+ which was made in 1988. Old Macs never die.

Kyle:
Yes I was pretty impressed too. Down below is a picture of the UFH. I took all the pictures with my digital camera pointed at the screen so the quality is actually better than you see. I did have Netscape 1.12 on there but it does not work with sites that are on virtual hosting packages (most sites). Oddly, I think you are correct in the fact that IE2 does not use cookies. I did not see any options or System folder folders for them. But yes, I was able to log in and Chief Delphi thanked me and redirected me back to where I was. And yes, Apple>Shift>3 does totally work. It even makes the camera snapshot sound. I'll see if there's a way I can get some screenshots uploaded.

SlimBoJones:
You are definitely correct when you say "A wolf in sheep's clothing" This machine is a little beast, especially for its time. As for serving some static pages, I already have two even slower/older machines (A Classic and an SE FDHD) that do that. www.classicserver.net:81 and www.classicserver.net:81 respectively. They will even do CGI scripts! http://www.classicserver.net:82/Tuto...amples/map.cgi. (give it a little time and it'll do it, remember it's only 8MHz 4mb RAM) The SE/30 in this thread runs as an e-mail server! As for RAM, you can actually put in 128mb but Apple doesn't officially support that much. Finally, with the PDS slot you can put a video card and hook up and external color monitor since the computer supports Color Quickdraw. The SE/30 is the best compact mac, if not one of the best Macs of all time.

dubious_elise:
I actually wanted to do a server with my IIC+ but I just don't think the hardware and software exists. IIE's are cool though. I remember using them in elementary school. Last summer, I visited a different elementary school where they were still being used! However, the oldest Apple Computer I know of that's on the web (that hasn't had its guts replaced) is a Macintosh Plus that runs as a server.

And as for OS8, I just bought an LCIII (25MHz) that I am going to try to put OS8.1 on.

Here's the other picture (takes with digital camera) of the CD UFH (picture hosted on the pictured machine.)
