I picked up an Olivetti M24 the other day. When I
opened it up I found a
"Fox Research LAN Interface" dated 1984. I have not been able to find any
information on this card. It has a make DE-9 connector with only 3 pins
(technically does that make it a DE-3?). Can anyone give me any details of
this interface?
I believe that that's an old 10Net card--essentially a 1Mbit protocol
over twisted pair. Popular briefly in the 80s mostly because it claimed
to be secure.
Maybe there are protocol converters out there, but they'd probably be
pretty scarce.
