Ethernet names...

[Gregory Beat]

Grant -
Occasional vague references to “I”, when Ethernet II was used (as I remember).
I assumed the reference was for initial 3 Mbps work at PARC.

Gateway Communications started in Irvine, CA (1981?) offering G/Net (~double the 3 Mbps), I remember installing their demonstration system (1982 or 1983?)
By 1983, 3Com ThinNet (10-Base-2) released for IBM PCs.  University of Iowa graduate college installed one of their first LANs with an Altos sever (8086, 10 MHz).

Does anybody know names / terms that correspond to the original 3 Mbps 
Ethernet?
I.e. 10 Mbps Ethernet is also knows as Ethernet II (2) and D.I.X. (for 
Digital, Intel, and Xerox).
Was the first 3 Mbps Ethernet simply called "Ethernet" with an implicit 
"I" (1)?  Was there a name to differentiate it from D.I.X.?
