EDIT: Got that working Can I access the internet with the modem? Like, maybe use one of these computers as a router?

Hey! Could anyone tell me how to get these guys on a network together? I need to connect either the iMac G3 or the Powerbook to my Mac Classic. Here are the supplies that I have to work with: My Mac Classic: My iMac G3 My Powerbook (Don't know what model) A modem And finally, this

Alright, so I swapped out the analog board with my other Mac Classic, and now the port works - for the first 15 or so seconds. Then the hard drive powers down

Well, really writting disks is totally different for Windows users then it is for Mac users (at least Mavericks users, I don't know if Yosemite supports floppies). On a mac, it's as simple as putting the .sit or extracting a .dmg. For windows users, the process is very complicated; it involves...

 >updates to El Capitan >can't use floppy disk's anymore >damn

Well, connecting to the internet is more of a long term goal. How could I connect two macs together? Couldn't I just connect two mac classics with a single 9 pin cable via the modem port?

Alright, so I just got a new Mac Classic I, and when I went to try it out for the first time, I discovered that the Logic board would not output sound - swapping it out with another Logic board proved that the problem was not with the Analog board. I screamed in annoyance, because at this point...

^^^ANALOG BOARD, NOT LOGIC BOARD^^^ The hard drive plug on the analog board of my Mac Classic doesn't work. Repair suggesting?

Wait, Canon BJC's work on Classics? Sorry, I'm new to Macs, it was my dad who used them when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s

Thanks for the recommendations guys; the screen has been working flawlessly since I reflowed the joints. Turns out the problem was in the crt yolk socket.

I have this, is there anything special I could do with it?

Could converters get the job done?

Does anyone know any printers compatible with a Mac Classic? On that note, are there any other cool accessories for it? Thanks

Where exactly on the board is that?

I have a method of getting games from the internet onto a compact mac if you're interested 

So, one of my Mac Classic's has a problem relating to the screen; it randomly shuts off, leaving only a thin (about one pixel thick) blurred streak that goes across vertically. I can get the screen flicker and pop back on again by smacking it on the side with the analog board against it; I'm...
