You'd need a SCSI Zip drive for a Classic II. The way I got mine "networked" was by connecting it to an old PowerMac via a printer cable. Then I could put whatever software was needed onto the PM and copy it over on the Classic II via AppleShare. Slow, but it worked. I now have a couple of (non-Mac) SCSI externals and a CDROM, but I need to get an adapter to fit the DB25 connection on these old Macs. Then I should be able to use those.
Speaking of drive sizes, is there any limit to the size of a drive that a Classic II can see? My externals have 18GB disks. Assuming I partition them into up into 2GB HFS partitions, would they work ok?
Mine still has 4MB RAM as I haven't found any 4MB sticks to get it up to the full 10MB. It has 2x1MB sticks on the board already, so yes you'd replace those with 4MB sticks to get the 10MB.
