arcnet != ethernet
You might _might_ be able to find a hub for arcnet, but I doubt it. I'm not
at all sure that one exists. The A2060 has only a coax connector. It will
*not* connect to thin ethernet. It will not plug into a ethernet hub.
Arcnet is token ring, not 'broadcast'. Different protocol. arcnet is ~1Mb/sec.
Ethernet is 10/100/1000Mb/sec. Which is one reason I traded in my A2060s for
x-surfs.
If the person who started this thread can find a PC arcnet board, arcnet
(rg59?) cables + terminators and a driver for Windows, I might be able to help
him get his A2060 to work.
But remember:
arcnet != ethernet
