Congratulations! Thanks for making this a reality. Now, two things:
1) You need to add an external Keypad to the 128K, or use a much more common (and cheaper) Mac Plus keyboard. However, evidently, you can also use the "<" & ">" keys. MacTerminal also has a drop down virtual keypad on which may have navigation keys.
Thanks for this tip! I hadn't bothered putting the numeric keypad on because of the space constraints (in my pic, you can see how it's sitting on the //c next to it,) but now it'll sit there.

2) Next, you need to get this working under Snow Leopard as has been discussed around here. Theoretically, it has been proposed that it would work via Terminal. All you need to get it into a modern Mac is a USB to Serial port adapter.
Thanks again! Glad there's actually a use for it too!
heh. So I can now say I have the oldest Macintosh to be connected to the Internet. (Then again, according to your database, I have the oldest known production Macintosh, period...)

As for Snow Leopard: not any time soon. My only Intel Macs are notebooks; the Itanium sits under the 128 all the time. No need to do any wonky changes when I feel like Terminaling-up the 128, I just have to turn it on. Plus, I like the symmetry of hooking the 8 MHz 68000 with 512 KB RAM up to an 8x1.66 GHz Itanium with 16 GB RAM. Kind of like towing an Airstream with a Peterbilt.
