Bunsen is absolutely right. A Wallstreet PDQ is the perfect machine for vintage Mac enthusiasts. It's the last machine Apple made that can read/write the old 800k floppies (since it was the last Old-world machine), and the floppy modules can be had for $20 to $30 on eBay if your current one dies. No fuss. No mess. Just swamp them out.

Get yourself a third-party USB card, format yourself a transport thumb drive using the Wallstreet and 9.2.2, and you can use your Wallstreet as an extremely simply and efficient bridge between your modern, Internet-capable Mac and your 1980s compact Macs.

If it were me, I'd trade both the Lombard and the Pismo for a Wallstreet and the necessary accessories.
