I am running system 7.1.1, I have a BlueSCSI hard drive/ethernet adaptor so through that it connects up to wifi as soon as i start the computer, Im connecting to this via NCSA telnet 2.7.

Very cool. I have an SE but I'm keeping
it back on 6.0.8. Also using NCSA
telnet mostly. It's got a RaSCSI in it
right now. When the BlueSCSI first came
out, I ordered one of those, but mine
has just a regular Pi Pico and not the
Pico W, so I can't do the network
interface emulation with that one.

What all do you like to do with it
besides BBSing?

I have Macweb set up on it so i do a little web browsing here n there. I don't have much of a specific use for it, although I use the crap outta it lol. I have an Imagewriter II for it so I type alot of documents with it. Besides that just play games...

Despite the simplicity of it I get so much joy outta this little mac!

I had actually bought it years ago from a Goodwill auction, paid $80 and it was in immaculate shape with the original carry bag, manuals cables mouse and keyboard, I took it all apart and retrobrighted everything, though it really didn't need it. A while later I found the Imagewriter for pretty cheap too, that I had also retrobrighted and cleaned out.

It just kinda sat for a couple years after that,I could never find a SCSI/Ethernet adaptor like the old Asante one, so when I found out about the BlueSCSI I ordered one, and then I found out it has wifi with a pico w! Couldn't be happier with the performance that the BlueSCSI give this old computer, just switch it on and it automatically connects right up to my wifi. Makes using this suprisingly convient.

Welcome to WeedNet! :)
I also really like old computers, but don't find the right amount of
time to really use them...

I have some C64s, C128s and an Amiga 1200. Only the Amiga is ready to
operate at the moment.
Ah, and I also have two kit computers, one RC2014 (in a self
constructed wood case) and one SC126 (in a self-created 3d printed
case), both use CP/M 3 and have wifi modems :)

Regards,
Anna

Thats awesome! I'd love to get more older computers, maybe a Commodore next... This Mac I got has taught me so much about computers, I really had zero experince as of maybe 9 monthes with computer networking or any of that, just researched it and learned so much. My main hobby has always been classic cars, my daily driver of 5 years now is a 1964 Dodge D100 Sweptline. There has always been a undefeated desire for me to utilize obsolete technology and incoperate it into my daily life, gives you a lot of respect for the engineering and refinement so many people dedicated their lives for to get to where we are now with our current day tech.

Using this stuff to me is my little part to conserve these machines of yesteryear and pay respect to all the innovators, designers and engineers.

:) I grew up with Commodore computers, I had a C64 and an old CBM 8296
(that I bought from my school as they threw the CBMs out) as my first computers.

My main hobby has always been classic cars, my daily driver of 5
years now is a 1964 Dodge D100 Sweptline.

Oh, also a nice hobby, that can also get quite expensive (just like
some parts of retrocomputing also these days).
I had a Citroen 2CV from ~2014 to 2017, as we moved to Karlsruhe, I
didn't have much time for the car anymore so I sold it.
But I really liked the car, it was so basic but you really could learn
how to drive a car and how it works with it.
It also was our wedding car in 2015, is it was white :)

There has always been a undefeated desire for me to utilize
obsolete technology and incoperate it into my daily life, gives you a lot
of respect for the engineering and refinement so many people dedicated
their lives for to get to where we are now with our current day tech.

*thumbs-up*

Using this stuff to me is my little part to conserve these machines of yesteryear and pay respect to all the innovators, designers and engineers.

I try to do this as well and also try to tell everyone about how
things have been in the past :)

Have a nice weekend
