And somewhere, in my stack of stuff, I have a copy of the MultiBUS

Sorry, but this seems crazy to me. Was Ethernet invented in 1973? Was it
10MBps then?
I somehow doubt it! From the tagline of Bob Metcalfe's regular
column in Infoworld...
(this should explain all...)
"Technology pundit Bob Metcalfe invented Ethernet in 1973 and founded 3Com
in 1979, and today he specializes in the Internet..."
...and just in case that does not work for you, I have a copy of the
original joint specification document buried in the archives somewhere.
