Does anybody know names / terms that correspond to the

Ethernet?
I.e. 10 Mbps Ethernet is also knows as Ethernet II (2) and D.I.X. (for
Digital, Intel, and Xerox).
Was the first 3 Mbps Ethernet simply called "Ethernet" with an implicit
"I" (1)? Was there a name to differentiate it from D.I.X.?
3 Mbps Ethernet is _NOT_ Ethernet I. Both Ethernet I and II were 10 Mbps
DIX standards, with II having only minor differences from I.
3 Mbps was sometimes referred to as experimental Ethernet, but AFAIK the
only official name was "Ethernet".
The best way to refer to it is probably "3 Mbps Ethernet".
