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!

Apple //gs to USB? Files from Mac Mini --> //gs? Home Network? BBS?
Sounds like BOOTI fits your requirement. It uses USB thumb drive and emulates 32MB hard drive images like Total Replay that you can plug into modern PC and copy image files onto. It's particular about USB thumb drive you use and formatting but it works fine for me with 16GB USB 2.0 thumb drive fully formatted (not quick formatted) for FAT32. To manipulate files within the image you can use CiderPress. Also, you have to track down the developer, David Mutimer, since I believe you can only purchase it direct from him these days.
