I have a PDF file of a 1982 Sun manual titled SUN
3MBit Ethernet Board.
Are there any differences with what I have on bitsavers?
I think that the Ethernet board in my Sun 2/120 is
jumperable 3MBit/10MBit.
There were two different boards. They used 3Com for 10mbit and the Stanford
design for 3. Very few people deployed 3mbit Ethernet. The main use by the
time of the Sun Microsystems workstation was to be able to print at CMU, Stanford
and MIT using the Xerox Dover laser printers from the Xerox Educational grant
of Altos and Dovers to those universities.
