I might be able to find some old #ARCNET cards, cables, and hub for you.

A history and deep dive into a little known net work technology, called #Arcnet. A bit cheaper than #Ethernet.

used a token star topology rather than hashtag token ring. #Novell pretty much out marketed it with the #NE2000 nic. created by Datapoint/CTC. popular wiz, early micro, computers, and mini computers. Some are probably still in use today on factory floors for automation.

@CartyBoston I'm still betting on #ARCNET

@nixCraft well... that ain't #10base2 ! because in #10b2 there never is a cable to the NIC. The T connector always goes directly to the card. So THIS must be something else. #ArcNet maybe ??
