Interested in a Compact Macintosh

personally I would not go any older / lower than a SE/30, it can handle a good chunk of ram, has a 32 bit 68030 cpu and more importantly a 1.44meg floppy disk drive

 

anything older (like my SE) is going to have a base 68000 and 800k disks that you can only read and write with another mac drive and if your not setup for a good chunk of bull er fun they are (to me at least) some of those machines that by the time you get everything going your tired of playing with it heh

 

there is a eralier SE FDHD which is a SE with an updated rom and a 1.44 meg drive, like an SE its limited to 4 meg of ram and its got the OG 68000 clocking in at 8mhz all the SE line has a PDS card slot so getting something like a network adapter (for file transfers) is not impossible as well

^Do you mean the Color Classic II? The Classic II had inferior specs to the SE/30.

 

classic II is similar to the SE/30 except its capped at 10mb ram and no expansion slot, it would be ok if those are not a big deal (the SE/30 is capped to 8 I think unless you use the mode32 extention which makes it take up to 128 meg (unofficial, on the books its 32) , but you get compatibility issues doing so)

 

the expansion slot is nice but unless your running like an external monitor, or network card its not 100% needed they all have a serial port, what I do on my SE is run 2 terminal programs and copy archives or disk images over bbs style (at a whopping 19200 bps)

 

but they also have scsi so things like cd drives and zip disks are another option
