I didn't know about that. Are AUI cables easily

I have two of the DEC mfgr'd 10Km^H^H^H^H20m

came with the DELNI that I expected to work. Another

I should look into.
Big thick things? They're probably OK.
It's a pain to make proper AUI cables, but if they're short, you can use
lower-quality cable. It's multiple coax inside. You should be able to
find the pinout easily enough on the 'net, eg

What is the
ORnet transceiver connected to?
Uhhh... $PC for testing, I believe. Some NE2k clone card most likely.
It
was a quick go-nogo test.
Should be OK, but make sure the AUI connector is actually enabled. Most
cards have several jumpers to select between AUI and whatever else is
there.
