Day 4 of Marchintosh was about paying it forward. One of our local group members was without a vintage Mac to experience #Globaltalk. We couldn't have that so I am prepping a spare PowerMac 7200 I had, like all good 7200 she is a little crispy. I tossed in a BlueSCSI V1 and she is mint! #marchintosh

Globaltalk is all setup on the 7100. I ended up having to use a AAUI (which seems to have had a fight with a baseboard heater) instead of the Wifi built into the Blue SCSI to get network access. Working decent now but dealing with some strange double NAT issues. #MARCHintosh
