27 Year Old Mac Plus Hacked to Browse the Web

Jeff Keacher has managed to successfully hack a 27 year old Mac Plus to browse the Web.
The Mac Plus features a 8 MHz CPU, 4 MB RAM, 50 MB hard drive, and 512 x 342 pixel black-and-white screen. To accomplish his goals, Keacher needed a web browser, a TCP/IP stack, and some way to connect the computer to his home network.

The web browser was relatively easy for him to find. MacWeb 2.0 was old enough to run on the Plus and new enough to render HTML and speak HTTP.
