Well, transceivers do have the tendency to fall off their mounting point... =)
As for the size of AUI transceivers, they have been absolutely gargantuan once
upon a time. We've got a BULL 10B2 transceiver connected to a pocket hub at
the usergroup, and the transceiver actually dwarfs the hub!
Then again, I have a stack of pocket transceivers which are actually smaller
than my AAUI ones.
The cable is a nice addition, though.
I actually came up with an HP transceiver that proves my own point
invalid. It's about the size of a zippo cigarette lighter, but a little
thicker. It's a model# 28685B Ethertwist transceiver and it has dip
switches to enable SQE, Link and Loopback test as well as use of a long
cable. It also has 6 status LEDS near the 10base-T connector. I do have a
small 5-port hub that isn't much larger than some of the AAUI transceivers I
have though.
