OK, so I've managed to scrounge up some free FDDI hardware from various places
around the U of Illinois (several boards and a concentrator), but I've been
stuck at one problem point for several months: I have no cables, and new cables
are expensive, and I can't find used cables anywhere (except ebay where I'm not
sure I trust them). So, does anyone have FDDI cables, for sale or trade?
I need both FDDI MIC-MIC cables and MIC-ST cables (I got a DEC DEFPA PCI card
for my PC that uses ST connectors, I think because the MIC connectors are too
big to fit on the back of a PCI card...) I really want to get my very own
wacky dual-counter-rotating-ring topology network going in my apartment :)
Thanks,
