piscsi
PiSCSI allows a Raspberry Pi to function as emulated SCSI devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, and others) for vintage SCSI-based computers and devices. This is a fork of the RaSCSI project by GIMONS. (by PiSCSI)

Apple //gs to USB? Files from Mac Mini --> //gs? Home Network? BBS?
The ultimate setup is to get an Uthernet II card for your IIgs and connect to a netatalk file server via AFPBridge. The easiest way to set up a netatalk file server is on a Raspberry Pi using PiSCSI software. Your vintage Macs, modern Macs, and IIgs can all transfer files to and from the server.
- My new Raspberry Pi case! The Pi emulates the modem for Captain's Quarters BBS running on my IIgs and hosts my netatalk file server. It uses the existing LED's and power switch.

Help: Found at the a flea market not working, needed a full recap and now I need a hard drive solution. More info in comments.
PiSCSI is a good solution for macs that don’t have built-in networking as it can emulate a network card as well as HD and CD.

Is it possible to connect an old Macintosh classic to the internet? And if so how?
Best bet is probably getting a PiSCSI. It’s a modern Raspberry Pi-based device that emulate many devices, including hard drives but also an Ethernet adapter. I also have mine set up to run an AFP server that I can connect to from my modern Mac to transfer over, then retrieve them from my vintage Mac.

Installing an Ethernet card and video card and other upgrades for a Mac SE/30
Eh... I had many, many battles with parallel SCSI. However, once active terminators became widely available and affordable (late 90s-ish) it was practically plug&play (just mind the ID switches)
The trickier bit would be to find one of those old SCSI-attached ethernet devices (Asanté, DaynaPort, EtherMac, ...) since they're coveted items in the retro scene. Although it looks like at least PiSCSI can emulate a DaynaPort https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/wiki/Dayna-Port-SCSI-Link

What measures are other European homelabbers taking to combat rising electricity costs?
https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi is your friend; I also use it on my alphas and vaxen.
- 50-pin SCSI pinout
- Who still here uses their very old Macs and their softwares?
- Any grooveboxes/samplers with wifi network/browser accessible drives?

It actually works ! What do I do now !?
Get a RaSCSI and connect it up to the internet!

Hard drive for A3k
You might want to get something like a SCSI2SD, http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php/SCSI2SD

Any idea?
You should look into getting a SCSI2SD (http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php/SCSI2SD) which will allow you to use an SD card in place of a SCSI hard drive. That will give you the room you need for a bootable system and any software you care to run.

Download the software from the wiki for your platform to start.

Secret SCSI2SD Images?
The project page is here they list a number of distributors in different regions. Inertial Computing is the major distributor in the US, a V5.1 or 5.2 will run you about $70 shipped from them, a V6 (which are higher performance in ways that ...don't really matter on old Apple stuff) a little over $100.

RaSCSI: A virtual SCSI device emulator that runs on a Raspberry Pi
From my experience (see sister comment), I don't think the board will be much cheaper that way. Even at this low volume they will probably not hand-solder anything but rather rely on a company offering pick&place services, and that will not add much to the costs. If you want to try it yourself and prove that it can be done much more cheaply, you can maybe try building one yourself: https://github.com/fhgwright/SCSI2SD/tree/master/hardware
