I just collected a VAXstation 2000 that has an AUI
connector on the back.
The trouble is that the connector is a bit strange. It has screw holes
like
you might get for screwing in a serial cable or a video cable, rather than
the locking slider that grips some studs on the cable you are connecting
(or
a transceiver in my case).
Is it possible to get an AUI cable or a transceiver that will fit this
connector or must I physically modify something I already have?
On my Pro380, I had the locking sliders, but the AUI-to-TP adapter I have
wanted to screw into studs, so I unscrewed the locking sliders. I don't
think the variation you're seeing is all that unusual, and you can
probably find an adapter/transceiver like the one I have on ePay pretty
easily. -- Ian
