Dave FischerAlmost up... sun-3/280 booting but not mounting /home or allowing login yet... (Realized my server rack is of the exactly appropriate age. Ha ha.)
Duncan Bayne@davefischer The hell is that Ethernet port? 😁 I've used coax connectors, and RJ45, but never that ...
@duncan_bayne AUI. A transceiver plugs into that, which converts to 10BT (RJ45) or thinwire (coax), or fiber optics, etc. OR... a cable from that to a vampire tap which clamps onto "thickwire" ethernet. Early 80s. (Vampire taps are crazy. You DRILL into a big fat cable and clamp onto it. !!!)

@marcin_mfm @davefischer *Wow*. I'm never going to complain about dealing with Cat-6 again 😁
