Damn this is a hoot! Love that people are keeping these machines alive. I had a Mac LC with the Apple IIe card in college. After college I tried to keep it alive as long as possible. I connected a 56k modem to it to connect to the internet by PPP. I saw the modem lights flash on and get faster and faster, and then stop and come back on dribbling in slowly only to speed up and then stop again, over and over. I then learned that the LC didn’t have hardware flow control. I then admitted to myself I had to let go of the LC. :(
