i recently came across 2 X1054A SCSI/Ethenet Sbus
cards. I am having
trouble finding info about the Ethernet connector. This is not a
standard port configuration. Its quite small (measuring 1/2 wide by
1/4
inch tall) and its *D* in shape. Female.
It's an HDI something or other. Sun has a weird dongle that connects
to the port and takes AUI on the other end. You'll still need a
10BT->AUI adaptor. Apparently, Sun had things set up so that the same
port carried ethernet and audio out. The dongles have a similar port
on them specifically for audio...
I think you're thinking of the weird AUI port in the Sun 4m's
(particularly as implemented on the LX and SS10).
OTOH, if the original poster is talking about the card, I think he is,
they originally came with two adapters: one which had the mini-din, a
short piece of CAT-5 and an AUI port; the other had a short piece of
CAT-5 to an RJ-45 Male(!) port. (You could attach the latter to a
10BaseT network with an included RJ-45 F-F adapter.)
Unfortinately, I lost my access to spares of those after they cleaned
out the lab at work while I was on vacation.
