For those who might be curious, the screw-on type AUI
were a
requirement for TEMPEST installs back in the day. I used to have a
bunch of them, too. TEMPEST PC's would have a short cable going from
the network card (frequently Western Digital WD8003E) to the bulkhead
connector to make the transition inside the beefed up TEMPEST case.
Those were the days!!
Intriguing.
By the way, I still have a bunch of AUI to 10BaseT
transceivers still
in their cute little cardboard boxes. Their marketing life was short
and people I worked for ended out with more spares than they could
ever hope to use. I imagine they are getting rare at this point.
I still see AUI to 10BaseT or even 10Base2 transceivers quarterly, if
not monthly in a few different haunts.
