Grant - Occasional vague references to āIā, when Ethernet II was used (as I remember). I assumed the reference was for initial 3 Mbps work at PARC.
Gateway Communications started in Irvine, CA (1981?) offering G/Net (~double the 3 Mbps), I remember installing their demonstration system (1982 or 1983?) By 1983, 3Com ThinNet (10-Base-2) released for IBM PCs. University of Iowa graduate college installed one of their first LANs with an Altos sever (8086, 10 MHz). greg == From: Grant Taylor <cct...@gtaylor.tnetconsulting.net> Subject: Ethernet names... Does anybody know names / terms that correspond to the original 3 Mbps Ethernet? I.e. 10 Mbps Ethernet is also knows as Ethernet II (2) and D.I.X. (for Digital, Intel, and Xerox). Was the first 3 Mbps Ethernet simply called "Ethernet" with an implicit "I" (1)? Was there a name to differentiate it from D.I.X.? Grant. . . . unix || die Sent from iPad Air
