After 20 years of waiting, I finally own a Falcon 030. 4MB. I finally talked an old friend into giving it to me since it was in disuse. It was really dirty from years of spilt soda and severe cigarette smoke "tarnish" but after a good cleaning of the case and keyboard (completely taken apart and cleaned), it's in good shape again. There were a couple broken keys, and I only had ST keyboard replacements, so I replaced more falcon keys for ST keys to create a unique looking keyboard. I've got her hooked up to a 21" CRT VGA monitor.
It's been years since I used TOS and GEM, and I was still a beginner when I did remember anything, so I'm pretty much a newbee all over again. I could use some suggestions for connecting a CDR drive, and the best desktops or OS for having colorful desktops with wallpaper, etc. Also suggestions on upgrades, etc. What it will take to successfully get it on the internet, etc. I think my best option for that will be LAN from my PC which is connected via wi-fi.
