Novell
came to the market with their first networking ??>product, called
S-net.
Back in 1984 we used a star network device to network some DEC
Rainbows and PC's (both running MS-DOS). I don't remember who made it, but I really don't think it was Novell. It was a
specialized box
though. The wires that connected to the Rainbows and PC's connected
with little slip-on clips that came off quite easily.
