Apologies for any ambiguity, but to be clear, the genuine StarLAN

not 1Mbps. I was not trying to suggest you could plug a true 1Base5
StarLAN network directly into a 10BaseT network.
Is it possible that different kinds of devices were all badged "StarLAN"?
You're talking about StarLAN-10, which is very different from
StarLAN. I don't recall if they were labeled as such.

I don't presently have one, but if I do ever run
across one, I'd want
to make sure I had a "StarLAN" card (1Base5, for the pedants in the
crowd) - I even have a few official StarLAN transceivers and such -
they work fine on a 10BaseT network.
StarLAN does *NOT* operate on a 10BaseT network. The signalling is
similar, but the data rate is 1 Mbps rather than 10 Mbps.
