I am using an HP 9000 Series 360 with a "Thin
LAN" coax card to run a
piece of equipment. The LAN connection is not currently being used. I'm
wondering if it's possible to connect it to a modern ethernet network?
If so, what could I do with it? I found an adapter on Amazon. I would
like to be able to transfer files and possibly print. The file systems
are not compatible except for maybe ASCII files. Anyone have any
thoughts? Even if I could transfer files into another HP 9000 system it
would be beneficial.
Thinnet is "just Ethernet." All you need is some sort of transceiver to
connect it, and many old hubs have Thinnet ports right on them (my trusty
10baseT Allied Telesyn hub has such a port).
