Does anyone have any AUI cables they do not need? I
could use about
five or six and the shorter, the better. The minimum is 2 meters, I
believe.
I don't know the spec, but I once made a cable with two DA15s and about
a foot of 15-conductor ribbon cable and it worked fine. (At 10Mbit
speeds, a foot of wire gets lost in the impedance bump caused by the
connectors in the first place. Or at least that was the theory, and
the practice seemed to bear it out.)
There can't really be any true minimum; transceivers are regularly
plugged directly into machines, so zero-length "cables" work. :-)
