   On several sun4m machines, the AUI ethernet interface and the 
speakerbox interface are on the same connector.  This cable breaks them 
out so you can use both at the same time.  The speaker that plugs into 
it is a desktop box with a mute button and volume up/down buttons.  It 
actually sounds halfway decent.  I have several of these kicking around 
if you get a woodie to have one.

   Note that you do *not* need this cable to connect a speakerbox if you 
don't also need to use the AUI ethernet interface.
