Also...what other classic Macs do you have? If you have a G3/G4 with early Mac OS X or OS 9 on it, just format the SD card as Mac OS Standard, drop an appropriate System folder on it, make sure it is "blessed", and you should be fine. No need to mess with properly imparting images on SD cards, etc.

I thought it was 100 Base T, I'll double check. Also, I am running an ATA/166 PCI card w/ ATA to SD adapter, so im pushing a lot more than the onboard SCSI does.

Just to let people know, these are back in stock! https://www.bixpower.com/CNT-C11-p/cnt-c11.htm

I'm seeing only RTL8169SC models....would that work?

You think so? Transfers are a lot speedier for me on a QS G4 with 9.2 on it...

Title says it all. The built-in ethernet is kind of bottlenecking me....are there any that might work under 9 or 8....or not at all?

Yes, I have to be that guy. What's the point?

Is the replacement very hard to find these days?

Definitely not normal. How can I get the DVD image to you?

I can send you a working image of my retail 10.4 DVD if you like.

Getting back to this almost a year later: I managed to follow your instructions, image to the SD card, and set up the laser printer in CUPS. Now...how do I get the old Macs to see it with the LaserWriter 8 driver in the Chooser?

Were you able to get the disk flux imaged by an AppleSauce or the like?

I’ve got a complete, originally owned, very first iMac G4, if that helps.

Download Interweb and you can browse the internet fine.

Photo is too low res to see what it says.

I was almost certain there was an option in the OS X install to include Classic. I’ve got the original 10.3 discs and I can check.

Fair enough, and I grant that I don’t really make images with modern Macs (they lack a drive, anyway), and mostly use 10.4-10.6 for imaging, so it makes sense why my images work fine for me. Thank you for the in-depth answer.

My point is, as long as you do it properly, Disk Utility does work just fine. Never sure why the big-to-do with DD.

Still not sure why just using Disk Utility isn’t the easiest option.
