I put the camera away before I'd realized that I'd not photographed the tap tool. I hope you won't be too disappointed in that. http://tmesis.net/10base5/ Nice. Interesting to see the yellow stuff, I remember that in prototype installations but from what I was told, DEC switched to the brownish/orange teflon jacketed cable for customer shipments. Something to do with flame rating for air handling spaces (i.e., dropped ceiling office areas). paul

Hello! (I did not see the fact that the original thread was cross-posted to the TUHS list as well as this one, until after the fact.) Now that I'd be interested in seeing. It happens that a shop in Manhattan was collecting and attempting to sell large quantities of Ethernet hardware. And I was the only buyer. It annoyed them that I was both the only buyer and the only one in the space who knew what they were. I wasn't feeling ambitious enough to trudge out the whole lighting "kit and kaboodle" <http://tmesis.net/Photography/Ummagumma.JPG>, so I took a few photos on the kitchen table with the 50mm f/1.2 using the available light from the kitchen window (not much since it's raining). That 50mm f/1.2 is very good in low lighting but it also has a depth of field that is thinner than rice paper, so the bokeh is quite evident in the photos I took. I would have needed the lighting kit to use any of the macros. I hope to someday build a light box so that I can do proper photographs of kit like this. So, here are a few photographs of some original Ethernet (10base5) bits I have here -- Etherpipe, AUI cables, and h4000s and h4005s.

Then you did not notice the one which attempts to describe the widget attached to the yellow cable. It was a tap who used the stinger design. It was an interesting slide show, but it did not go into complete detail. Charles Spurgeon wrote an excellent book on Ethernet which as it happens to explain practically everything about the entire ideas behind it. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Outstanding, thanks! I do not read all traffic on this list, so it would be best if folks raised issues with simh at https://github.com/simh/simh/issues I will remember that for next time. -brian I'm going to assume the scripts for autogenerating new configs is running yet? :P -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
