You can also use RG174 to go between cracks in floor tiles as I did once
in my apartment. It was easier than cutting hole sin concrete to get
where I wanted to go (well before wi-fi)
As a consultant said when he saw it, "I have heard of thin-net but that
is ridiculous!

YES ... connecting your HP 9000 to your private LAN would be useful.
ThinNet = 10-Base-2 = 10 MB Ethernet over RG-58/U 50 ohm coaxial cable.
The Series 360 workstation should also have an AUI port (15-pin D-subminiature
with locking mechanism option).

I would recommend an AUI transceiver to 10-Base-T media converter (UTP with
8-pin modular jack). Black Box, Unicom, and other brands are available.

You did not mention the Operating System (OS) that you have installed on this HP
9000 series 360. HP-UX was the standard OS offering 30 years ago, when I went thru
HP’s one month of classroom training on HP9000 hardware, networking, & HP-UX.

You will need the Ethernet network driver installed for your OS, and standard
TCP/IP tools (telnet, ssh, ftp, nfs, etc.).

Subject: HP 9000 Series 360 Thin LAN
Hi All,
I am using an HP 9000 Series 360 with a "Thin LAN" coax card to run a
piece of equipment. The LAN connection is not currently being used.? I'm
wondering if it's possible to connect it to a modern ethernet network??
If so, what could I do with it? I found an adapter on Amazon. I would
like to be able to transfer files and possibly print.? The file systems
are not compatible except for maybe ASCII files.? Anyone have any
thoughts?? Even if I could transfer files into another HP 9000 system it
would be beneficial.
Thank you,
Roger A.
