Tony's email makes me ask more questions than I have (smart alack)
answers to. Maybe ~> hopefully I can ~> will learn something.

I've used an IDC
DA15 plug and socket crimped onto the normal ribbon cable. Technically
it's wrong but the reflections on that length of cable won't matter.
Isn't 10Base<something> quite resilient? Especially at these distances?
Though I don't know if AUI is considered 10Base<anything> in and of
itself. Doesn't it become 10Base5 / 10Base2 / 10Base-T based on what
transceiver is on the other side of / attached to the other end of the
AUI cable?
I'm assuming that MAU is meant for multiple stations to connect an AUI
cable into and it then connects to the ostensibly 10Base<something>
network. -- I originally read and was replying as if Chris was trying
to take the AUI port on his Pro/380 and connect it to an AUI port on a
hub / switch. My concern being that both AUI ports would be the same
gender and assuming that there are (at least) a pair of transceivers
converting each device from AUI to 10Base<something> to connect to each
other.
