How about an update re your CC?
Were you able to install a ethernet card and go on line? Did you max out your RAM? Still running a mechanical hard drive?
I am a big fan of SCSI2CF or SCSI2SD. I like the fact that you are drawing less current from your power supply. I think it puts less stress on your entire system. It is not a young puppy any more. Also it gives you plenty of headroom to add more hardware. And better yet, it will make your CC quite a bit faster.
My CC came alive after I installed a web browser and started visiting web sites that hobbyist had built that would work with out issue. Here is a link to this topic:

I did one other thing to make my CC useful.... I installed a modern (and free) FTP client on my windows 10 box. Then I installed some older free FTP software that would run under 7.5 in my CC. I would surf the web on my windows box for older Mac software and then down load it to my windows box. Then I would run the software on my CC and ftp it over to the CC. This works great if you have files larger then a floppy disk can hold.
I do have a DVD reader drive hooked up to the external SCSI port.
My CC is still in a shipping container arriving in the US in a few days. I will be happy to get my CC out of storage and set it up again.
My last big project with my CC is to find a way to read and write my gmail with it. On this forum is a fellow who uses a raspberry pi to strip away the SSL issue. The pi strips away the security stuff so that you can port email to the CC. It is way over my head at the moment. But I hope to fix that some day. I just need to sit down and do a lot of reading. Some other software issues are also available, but again, over my head at the moment.
Post an update when you can and let us know of your progress.
