I've never had any problems getting 10BT devices connected at 100 or 1000
and I've got some fairly old and/or unusual stuff. I'm using an old
SynOptics AUI transceiver on my Meridian PBX, no issues. I have also had
fine results with DEC transceivers. However, I most often use Allied
Telesyn... I have a huge pile of these and they are very compact and
robust. All Cisco equipment on the switch-side.
Best,
Sean

All the switches and hubs I am using are from a

unmanaged consumer grade stuff (TRENDnet, ASUS, Linksys, etc.) that I
have accumulated.
I've had trouble with Trendnet gigabit switches not talking to some 10
or 100 Mbps devices, and also with two Trendnet gigabit switches not
talking to each other properly.
Of course, Trendnet uses commodity silicon, so it's entirely possible
that other brands of switches might exhibit the same problems.
