Converting from 10Base-2 (Coax) to the AUI port is as easy as switching a
jumper.

Take the system down, then on the back, take out the MFIO card (which is
what I think you are referring to as the "proc card") - Multi-Function I/O
Card - which has the net connections (and the console, etc).

Right on the card, there is only one jumper on there, near the front.
Switch that jumper from one side to the other, and restore the card.

Secure the card, attach an AUI adapter (such as for 10Base-T), and reboot.
You will not need to "T" off the 10Base-2 squirter connection.  It should
work just fine.

(Oh yeah - do hook it up to some cable and a hub <g>)

Best Regards,
Joe
