> I am looking for a source for an adapter that will allow a 10Base-2
> transceiver (25-pin) connect to the AUI port on a SPARC 20, which for
> some reason is 26-pin (as is the parallel port above it), at least
> according to the Service Manual diagram I'm looking at from
> docs.sun.com (I do not have the machine as yet).  twmaster.com
> advertises one from Sun (p/n 530-2021) but is out of stock.  I've
> e-mailed bodoman.com but haven't heard back as yet.  None of the
> companies listed as HW sources on the sunhelp.org website listed this
> item. I couldn't find it at store.sun.com, so I thought I'd see if
> anyone else had any suggestions as to who might have this.  Also, is it
> possible to do a search by part number at store.sun.com (I couldn't
> find any way)?

> Anybody know why 26-pin D's were used on these boxes?  Was 10B-5
> originally 26-pin or something of that nature (all the 10Base-2 stuff
> I've ever seen in my short life have been 25-pin)?  Sun just get a
> great deal on a bunch of them? ;-)

> Guess I could go the route of 10Base-T, but I'd still need to get
> transceivers for my IPC & SPARCbook I, or find a hub (cheap, of course!
> I got the 10Base-2 stuff for free) with a BNC connector...
