Is there
currently a source for the tap part for the older, boxy

removable media bits? What I think they are talking about with the tap etc.
is that you have the
thick coax, then you have a thing that taps into the coax, and that "thing"
typically has a AUI 15 pin connection with a cable to the AUI on your
computer. Disconnecting the cable is what I think they mean.
Certainly that is one interpretation. I would quote the page if I have it
in front of me. My impression is that the electronics were detachable from
the plastic and metal part that was the actual tap. The boxes I have do
allow separating the media portion from the box portion with two screws. I
will see about pictures when I can next get to the device (Monday, at the
earliest).
Since you do have a collection of older network hardware, I will conclude
that what I initially described, if it did exist in that form, was not
common, or it would have seemed familiar to you.
I'll try a better description when I can point at what I'm trying to
describe.
