Yeah, Allied Telesyn/Telesis made (and still makes!) really decent hardware at a midrange price. I often recommend their gigabit and PoE switches for cost-sensitive projects, especially where management isn't really needed. Thanks, Jonathan On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 5:56 PM Cameron Kaiser via

Allied Telesis made a "multi port tap" that provided four AUI ports off a single Ethernet tap. I don't know if it was a repeater/hub inside, or what. It was much smaller than a DELNI or DEREP. That totally sounds like the one located in the Cray. My guess is most people would hook AUI

I think I've seen reports of multi AUI port taps. Correct? I think my Cray has a 4 port AUI box w/ 1 x 10base2. It has DB15 ribbons going to each of the IOSV CPU cards. Allied Telesyn might be the mfgr. -- : Ethan O'Toole

Yeah, you can make up your own AUI cables with less-than-spec wire and get away with it no problem, but I was referring to NOS premade AUI cables being a limited resource. I've made them with DA15s and CAT5 cable before, and it works for short runs. Thanks, Jonathan On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 1:21

I understand 10Base5 cable being limited, though regular 50 ohm coax generally works fine if you work around the lack of stripes. AUI cable, though, that doesn't seem much of a problem. Straightforward N pair twisted pair cable, terminated with DA15 connectors. The slide locks are not quite
