I have enough floppy's for that.  No, it's hooked up to the ethernet port on an airport base station. 

7.5.5 with MacTCP as well. I do have 7.1.1 installed as well. Part of the problem is that I can't really get software larger than a floppy on the machine without networking up and running :) . 

Hey thanks buddy! I was about to post saying that the card works great, but I cannot seem to get a connection via FTP for some reason. I believe the problem is I don't have the right version of OT.  @Macdrone: you rock. Seriously. Thank you so much. I'll be out to visit again soon. 

I set up my G5 right next to the ci for floppy disk access. It's running 10.5 and seems to work well for that. Plus I have some older OSX games from 2001-2004 I like to play. Anyway, I have wired network access via an airport that's set up to extend my current wifi network. Works awesome. So is...

I don't have any classic system installers unfortunately. This machine came with 7.1 and 7.5.5 pre-installed. I have a look at the system folder tonight. Regarding floppy emu, yeah I'd love to get one. They seem fantastic.

Just so I know, olePigeon, what's involved with getting the ethernet card going? What software would I need? 

Yeah I know. I'll see what I have going on this weekend if you're around.  CC_333: thanks for that. I have an iBook G3 with 9.2.2 and 10.3 installed. I'll fire that up for floppy transfers.  olePigeon: Let me see if Macdrone has one sitting around and then I'll hit you up for assistance :)

I'd probably prefer ethernet, but haven't had much luck finding a card much less getting them to work on the network properly. 

So...the problem is that floppy's obviously don't hold much. Forget that, even...on El Capitan for some reason putting in a floppy formatted on my ci results in read only status. Not sure what's up with that. So, what would you all figure the best way to get files onto the machine is? 

I haven't popped the seal on the box, so I don't have the manual in front of me. From what I gather it works with pretty much any media of the day, but if / when I find out more I'll post. 

iphoto was always a pile of....you know, on my systems. Even through Intel CPU's. Ugh.  Well, once I get a CD-ROM for my ci I'll develop some content and post it here, as in videos or whatever :)

I snagged the wrong software on E-Bay, I thought it was something else. I understand what Aldus Fetch does from the description, but does anyone have experience using it? It actually seems like it would be a neat piece of software. I wanted to use my ci for photos and video (in a limited fashion...

Yeah, these were cheap as well. The keyboard was $12, mouse was $5. 

My NOS keyboard and mouse in a box from Kensington showed up today. My Apple ADB keyboard / mouse are in kinda rough shape, so it'll be nice to have brand spankin' new peripherals for the ci :)

Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. It's unfortunate. Folks just want to help, but it's tricky as you said.
