I could also use a handful of short AUI cables.
Depending on what "short" means here, you may be able to make your own
with a pair of DA15s and some 15-pin ribbon cable. It doesn't have the
right transmission-line characteristics, but for sufficiently short
cables that doesn't matter in practice. (I once experimented; I had to
get up to something like three metres before I started getting a
significant level of errors.)
It seems to be difficult, at least for me, to find out just sort sort
of signals, in the electrical sense, run over AUI. But at 10Mb, bits
are roughly 50 feet long (at these frequencies, signals in copper
travel largely by skin effect at somewhere between .4 and .8
lightspeed, depending on the details of the cable), so it's no surprise
that you can get away with a lot at cable lengths of only a foot or so.
