First of all when it starts up I get a message saying driver 3.2 "I can't find 4xEIDE Buffered Interface"
That interface was an add-on to give you 4 ide ports. With that message there may at one time have been that add-n in the machine, may not be there now. It's close to 100% sure that the hard drive in the machine is ide. someone in one of the other threads was saying they have OS 3.9 for sale, but you need a 3.1 kickstart for any OS 3.1, 3.5 or 3.9 to work. Try Amikit for the kickstart rom. you can get ethernet cards for the pcmcia port and there are various add-ons for the clockport. Any expansion card would be good, some are just ram, others have faster processors. You didn't say where you are located, I presume The UK, as it's a PAL machine. You don't say what kind of monitor, I assume you are using a SCART cable, but VGA adapters are available, but most VGA monitors don't sync that slow.
