IIRC, IPC and IPX are fitted with a BW video system on the
motherboard, sometimes a Sbus CG3 or the like is fitted to give colour
capability - at least that was the case with the IPC's that I have.
The LX is fitted with a CG3 on the motherboard - never seen the
classic so cannot help there.

The IPC/X have an AUI socket, use a 10baseT to AUI adaptor. The LX has
10baseT as standard.
