Indeed, it could be a serial connector, a phone jack, ISDN, or even (if you
were looking at an Asante FriendlyNet adaptor) the AUI side of a
transceiver.
Also, it was small enough that I wasn't even
thinking it was a
transciever, so thanks Pete T. Most modern networking cards
pin out at 10bT anyway, wonder what the native signals are here
(Quadra)?
Well, I'm assuming that what you have is a small box with an RJ45 socket,
and a short cable with something that looks like a tiny Centronics printer
plug, but with fewer pins? That's the AAUI (Apple Attachment Unit
Interface) connector.
Also I wasn't thinging of the cost angle.
Oh, Apple! Yeah that costs.
