Tempest,
I use that card on a Mac Color Classic and once I have TCP/IP set up, I use it an FTP client (can't recall witch at the moment) to download files/disk images. That board works well. I have not tried a direct connection to another Mac so I can't comment on that.

As long as I can get files to it one way or another I'll be happy. It's not like I'm going to surf the web on it. 🙂

I tried. You only do that once and then you never try again because it is slow and the browsers don't support modern standards (as to be expected) 🙂

What system is recommended for the CC? 7.1 or 7.5? The system has 10MB of RAM installed.

7.1 is the OS that the CC came with originally. You can upgrade to 7.5 but I don't know if there was a full CC specific install for 7.5. Does anyone else know for sure?

What does 7.5 offer over 7.1?

Have a look at this: http://lowendmac.com/1998/why-do-i-prefer-system-7-5-5/ I did need to do this to run TCP/IP with the Ethernet card above.

Hmm... I might have to use it then. I have a 4GB SCSI drive that I was thinking about using.

jag's house has a guide on upgrading 7.1 to be more 7.5-like, and I think there's one on fenestrated.net as well.

Maybe I will stay with 7.1. Games that seem to require 7.5 also seem to require 640x480 so they won't run on my CC anyway.
New question: Recommend some Adventure games and RPGs that will run on the Color Classic (i.e. won't run too fast on the 030). I know Bards Tale runs well (it's painfully slow on a stock 68000).

1) Quest for Glory 1
2) Lucas Arts adventures (Indiana Jones FoA)
3) Escape Velocity 1 (maybe
4) Prince of Persia 1 & 2
5) Warlords
...to name a few

None of those need 640x480?

Yep. Connect the Ethernet port on the PowerBook to the Ethernet port on the color classic. I've done it with a regular cable (like the kind that came with my router), though I'm hardly an expert in network hardware. Anyone know how to make this work. I installed my Ethernet card and it's saying that I can't use it because there are no Internet Servers available.
