The aUI go-fish game we ordered a while ago. #aUI #LanguageOfSpace

Next step: find some language nerds to play it with.

EDIT: It has found a new home.

Free to a good home: A Cayman GatorBox CS.

Free to a good home: An Asante NuBus ethernet card with co-ax and AUI.

Does anyone need a CentreCOM 210TS AUI transceiver? The case is metal, not plastic.

@webmink maybe some #legacy #Networking fans want some #MAUI / #AUI and other partd for #Retro-#Ethernet?

Pretty shure some #CCCamp / #40C3 attendee from the #UK would like to get their hands on the other #10Base2 / #10Base5 gear...

  • Maybe take inventory on what you got there?

Attached: 1 image Also there *used to be external #Ethernet "#Modems"*... - Like [*this one*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Accton-etherpocket-sp-parallel-port-ethernet-adapter.jpg) that can be found on the [History section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet#History) of the Ethernet article on #Wikipedia... So it's not impossible to facilitate something like that. - Just a 10/100BASE-T adaptor connected via RS-232...

@miodvallat @tth #AUI de mon temps c'était l'Association des Utilisateurs d'Internet. J'en fut même membre juste avant que le truc se désintègre.
@miodvallat : C'est parce que c'était un avant-projet. Maintenant on a viré le U de #AUI. C'est le progrès, on y peut rien...

Uiii, an aUI card game!

Unser #Versprechen - eine Tischtennisplatte für den #Aui in Sülz!

(Und ja, wir würden gemeinsam vor Ort den besten Standort finden)

Now some folks may say: "Why don't you just get a regular-ass #AUI like a #NormalPerson?"

1. Simply because noone but the most tech-masochistic folks want to deal with like #coax cables, #VampireTaps, huge #MAUI boxes and rare vintage stuff + overhead to get a slow & underwhelming network experience. Pretty shure neither @ncommander nor @TechTangents would either.

2. The few late-era #10BaseT-based AUIs do exist but they are long out of production and thus quite expensive. And if you are on #10Base2 or even #10Base5 good luck finding a still working #switch that isn't sold by a #scalper like #ersazza way above #MSRP+#inflation!

3 An AUI is just an Interface port / media converter similar to #SFP & GBIC and necessitates a NIC already inside the machine.

4. AUIs are not just long outdated but also way more inflexible, whereas basically anything from an #Apple2 up to the latest #Android-#Tablet can be adapted cheaply to do #RS232 #serial and send AT commands to a #Modem.

5. Twisted-Pair Ethernet is cheap, commonplace and still supported and pretty much forwards- and backwards compatible. 10BaseT will run on Cat.3 but also on Cat.5 and even Cat.8 cables (In case one wants to hookup a vintage computer on a 40GBase-T port for no reason but to see if the switch does negotiate proper 10Base-T.

6. Because it's useful...

7. as said before: AUI port would be nice to have but not necessary...

8. it would allow Network access similar to #dialup abeit without the need for existing #PSTN infrastructure like @c3isdn has...
