Pismos are handy with the built-in USB and Firewire but the Wallstreets make better "bridge" machines. They have SCSI that can be booted from with a BlueSCSI or PiSCSI, and the old serial ports which work with Localtalk.

I was gifted a Wallstreet that included working PCMCIA USB and Firewire cards. With floppy and CD in the expansion slots it's a great bridge machine.

My mother-in-law gifted me a Wallstreet that she used in the 90s. I was almost tempted to buy a spot welder to build my own PRAM battery for it since at the time I looked there were no aftermarket ones available.
I just put a shortcut to the date/time control panel on the desktop and set the time when I boot it up. I don't use it enough to make it onerous.
