Nice write up! I also have a Mac SE, but I found an Asente Ethernet card and installed that. Then ran ethernet to a small custom pcb that bridges to wireless, all tucked inside the original case.

PS, Then run this on a rpi or something, kudos to this repo for dialing back the entire web :) https://github.com/tghw/macproxy

I have a Mac Plus I've expanded to 4MB and expanded with a 512MB SCSI HD and an Asante SCSI-to-Ethernet adapter by which it's wired to my LAN. I use an FTP programs to browse my Mac Studio via a little FTP server I've got running on it, if I want to install something new on the Mac Plus. Works pretty well.

I also have an Imagewriter II hooked to my Apple IIgs, but I did attach it to the Mac briefly for a test print.

There's the PiSCSI which is a board that hooks in to a Pi's GPIO pins and acts like a SCSI interface to Macs. I have one and in addition to SCSI drives it can emulate a DynaTalk SCSI/Ethernet interface and use the Pi's wifi to talk to the Internet. I've done this with a Mac SE.

It also will act like a AppleTalk file server using netatalk, it's an easy way to share files with other Macs on your local network.

Would this middleware be relevant with Links [1]? I mean, could we browse heavy-on-js websites such as gmail, facebook ? [1]: http://links.twibright.com/

I don't have a first-hand account here, but it should work as long as you run Links in graphics mode (but which machine runs Links in graphic mode and not another more enjoyable browser like, say, Netscape?)
