They tend to be thinner and more flexible than the proper thick blue
ones. Or you could remove the cover and fit a right-angle cover,
probably. You could certainly do that with an office-grade cable -- I
used to have one like that.
I seem to remember having a genuine DEC beige transceiver, about twice
the size of the minature Allied Telesyn ones that are so common, which
had the AUI connector on the side instead of the end.
Ah well, i'll be going down to the local Maplin* at some point to get the
bits together to make one up, less the special cable-locks...
cheers anyway

Let me
know if that'd be OK. Send clearance dimensions if you can!
After a quick look, it's around 4.2 - 4.3 cm...Is it doable?
