yes I have some great replies but don't let that stop you from sharing your
AUI-to-10baseT wisdom please, I'm learning more with each, thank you in
advance!
I'm still quite interested in those jumper settings -
per Denys his have SQE power jumper ON;
other transceivers such as the HP28685B don't seem to have a so-named
jumper.
And the 28685 has FOUR jumpers, not just the one. Keep those cards &
letters coming, folks; I'll gladly consolidate & repost.
Thanks in advance
