Sorry, but all of our AUI and original ethernet stuff got recycled
about  5 years ago; the only exception are the two VAXen and one
10Baset-T hub with an AUI uplink port.  No cables or anything else
left.

I have the soul of a pack-rat.  I know I can't keep it all but darned
if someone doesn't come up needing (or at least wanting) almost
everything that circumstance, boss, or wife makes me get rid of!
