So, here are a few photographs of some original Ethernet (10base5) bits
I have here -- Etherpipe, AUI cables, and h4000s and h4005s. 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.

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).
