Well, transceivers do have the tendency to fall off their mounting point... =)
As for the size of AUI transceivers, they have been absolutely gargantuan once
upon a time. We've got a BULL 10B2 transceiver connected to a pocket hub at
the usergroup, and the transceiver actually dwarfs the hub!
Then again, I have a stack of pocket transceivers which are actually smaller
than my AAUI ones.
The cable is a nice addition, though.
I actually came up with an HP transceiver that proves my own point
invalid. It's about the size of a zippo cigarette lighter, but a little
thicker. It's a model# 28685B Ethertwist transceiver and it has dip
switches to enable SQE, Link and Loopback test as well as use of a long
cable. It also has 6 status LEDS near the 10base-T connector. I do have a
small 5-port hub that isn't much larger than some of the AAUI transceivers I
have though.

I have a little Allied Telesyn transceiver I'm using on the Solbourne.
Nice gadget, fits in the palm of my thin piano-playing mitts. There's a DIP
on the side for SQE-Enable and four status lights. Works very well.
That reminds me, since I'm an AUI novice. I picked up a DB15 straight
through cable at Fry's (it was sold as a joystick extension but it works
fine on the Apple monitors too). I also have an Allied Telesyn hub that
accepts eight 10BT connectors, Thinnet, and one AUI. If I plug the Solbourne
right into the AUI port on the hub, will I need the transceiver anymore?
It would be nice to free it up for a machine that honestly couldn't utilise
anything else. The cable does work as an AUI extension (I can plug the
cable into the Sol and into the transceiver, and then Ethernet into that,
and it works fine in that capacity), so that much seems promising.

I wouldn't use that for an AUI interface. It's
not going to be twisted
pair, let alone twisted pair of the right impedance.
Twisted pair? What exactly does that entail?
As for impedance, I was under the impression, judging from the current
discussion on the topic of 10B5 wiring, that the actual work of making the AUI
output ethernet-worthy lay in the transceiver.

You can pay off the cops so they won't visit your neighborhood,convince girls
that work for other pimps to work for you,etc. When you're in a bind,you can

I'm in dire need of a couple of monochrome graphics adaptors for a project
I'm working on. Does anyone here have a few they'd like to part with?
Thanks for your time.

I may still have a few in my parts drawer. I'll check tonight and let you know.
If I still have them, they're yours gratis.

Thanks Kenneth, it's appriciated! Do you know if there are any speed
issues with these cards? If so, it'll dictate what I can stuff them
into. :)

IIRC, when we replaced the 64-bit PCI card in our Pentium 90 server with an
EGA card, the memory count at the beginning was suddenly slowed down a whole
lot. I suppose it couldn't output the continuous text fast enough.

The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

I have three of them. As far as I know, they all work.
If you give me a mailing address (offline), I'll send them next week.
You want all three, or just two?
As far as the speed issue goes, they run on the ISA bus at 8 MHz, so don't
expect too much.
