Reminder for the month of April for the Classic Mac's FirstClass server. We are now up to 100 members in our community! We have a permanent FirstClass server with over 330gb and 13,800 files to download for classic Macs. What is FirstClass? It's a GUI BBS for classic Macs from the 80's & 90's.  Not a lot of them around anymore but this is the best way to get apps for classic Macs that can not access websites easily. Just download this one app and you get access to all the files in the repo using a GUI...

Join to get great files and make new friends. To get detailed instructions on how to access the server go to https://macos.retro-os.live/index.php/firstclass/first-class-server-access and follow the steps...

If you need help getting your Mac online, I provide a CD with all the tools and utilities you may need for $3. For more info just go here: https://macos.retro-os.live/FC_CD - note you can download the .toast file for free there.

If you want to contribute, the Classic Mac website is at https://macos.retro-os.live where you can give feedback on the service. We also have a discord for Classic Macs at https://discord.gg/VGefxXp2ds.

That's a good reminder I should take my 7500 out for some browsing on there. It has been some time, eager to see the changes. :-)

Any chance you could serve a simple plain html page over http for those of us with old Macs too slow to use the modern web? So we could download stuff directly without the need of a bridge machine?

All of the above links are rather resource heavy https links that require modern gear to access.

Yep. But you need it and the connection details prior to connecting, don't you? :-)

If you have a FTP client you can also access the files with that... But I recommend the first class client as soon as you can download it... Also https is not required, I just put that there by force of habit. http:// works fine too.
