It may be looking for a network connection or a specific server until it times out and can continue, often without an error message. Booting with extensions off can help, or try turning off networking.

Yep, that's the one. Based on what I've seen here, that would have been a little closer for you I think.  A couple of others here too.  I was a little panicked that someone else would have snatched it up before I got there.

Yesterday I found a Color Classic advertised on the locally popular equivalent to craigslist.  Seller said it would not power on, but I know CC logic boards are relatively plentiful and I thought I'd take a chance. It's in really nice condition with virtually no yellowing.  It came with a...

I recently used a 8 pin mini din to 9 pin adapter that I found at a thrift store (I think it was originally a Mac plus serial adapter, but who knows) which I then attached to a PC-style null modem cable.  Worked a treat.  No clue what the pinouts are though, sorry.  I do see those md8 to db9...

http://www.vintagemacworld.com/osxprint.html Good primer on sharing an OSX printer with vintage stuff.  Also good links etc. Mind, I haven't tried this, but it looks legit  :)

Old like PowerMac 8600, MacOS 8/9, Netscape IE and iCab. Haven't tried Classilla.

OK, here's at least a start:   https://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2014/03/11/web-rendering-proxy-update/ This is a python script that runs on OS X (earlier versions at least, I don't know about current versions) which renders webpages into a clickable gif or jpeg or something and...

I always have trouble with the Macintosh Garden when I try to access it on old computers unfortunately, which is a pity because that's exactly the sort of thing the garden should do well. I've seen other solutions wherein a newer mac does the actual browsing and heavy lifting, then forwards a...

Looks like maybe a Newer Technology MacClip Jr. or similar?

I wouldn't rule it out.  I'm afraid I couldn't be more specific.  I'll maybe dig out my LCIII and see what it looks like.

Anyone in your household plug your external SCSI devices into a PC parallel port?

I've seen green wire on Apple repairs.  This does look like more work than usual, and not quite as neat as usual, but I wouldn't rule out official Apple work

I happened yesterday to see people on the web recommending similar devices for older computers with ethernet but without wireless.  http://www.brutman.com/Wireless_for_Classics/Wireless_for_Classics.html No Apple or Macintosh information, but it's a start.

Carefully though!  Apparently if you push too hard you can dimple the front of the logo.

Thank you Gorgonops for the clarification.

Interesting machine.  First time I've seen a battery soldered in an SE.  Funny little board for the ram too.  If I recall correctly, some of the older boards required cutting a resistor, later boards had a jumper for memory selection. (Or was that the Plus?  Hmmmm.) In any event, looks like a...

Macs do not have a parallel interface. There were serial to parallel adapters made and sold with drivers for a variety of popular parallel printers, but they're gotta be tough to come by anymore. You may be able to find a serial printer with available mac drivers; I couldn't name any. Edit: I...

I wonder if maybe the auto-inject drive got replaced with a later non-inject variety. I guess cleaning is still the first step.

You have to remove the logic board on the 8100 in order to do virtually anything.  Giant pain in the neck, that case. Almost surprised you don't have to remove the logic board to boot up. Be careful removing the power/reset button thingy (if I'm remembering right).  It was breakable twenty...
