Some days I feel like ?Doc Brown?, wondering where I parked the DeLorean. ? YES ... connecting your HP 9000 to your private LAN would be useful. ThinNet = 10-Base-2 = 10 MB Ethernet over RG-58/U 50 ohm coaxial cable. The Series 360 workstation should also have an AUI port (15-pin D-subminiature with locking mechanism option). ? I would recommend an AUI transceiver to 10-Base-T media converter (UTP with 8-pin modular jack). Black Box, Unicom, and other brands are available. https://www.omnitron-systems.com/flexpoint-10-aui-media-converter.php You did not mention the Operating System (OS) that you have installed on this HP 9000 series 360. HP-UX was the standard OS offering 30 years ago, when I went thru HP?s one month of classroom training on HP9000 hardware, networking, & HP-UX. https://www.hpmuseum.net/exhibit.php?class=1&cat=40 You will need the Ethernet network driver installed for your OS, and standard TCP/IP tools (telnet, ssh, ftp, nfs, etc.). greg chicago ==== Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2020 10:19:40 -0800 From: Roger Addy <roger.addy at charter.net> To: cctech at classiccmp.org Subject: HP 9000 Series 360 Thin LAN Hi All, I am using an HP 9000 Series 360 with a "Thin LAN" coax card to run a piece of equipment. The LAN connection is not currently being used.? I'm wondering if it's possible to connect it to a modern ethernet network?? If so, what could I do with it? I found an adapter on Amazon. I would like to be able to transfer files and possibly print.? The file systems are not compatible except for maybe ASCII files.? Anyone have any thoughts?? Even if I could transfer files into another HP 9000 system it would be beneficial. Thank you, Roger A.
