I was at a friends house helping him wire up his place with Cat-6
wiring for his Ethernet network. He had already wired up the jacks
to what we later found out as the "A" wiring layout. The patchbay
that I hooked up to his network was laid out as "B". We couldn't
figure out why his Apple G3 would connect but none of his PCs would.
We finally figured out the discrepancy on the wiring and discovered
to our amazement that the G3 boxes would self-configure to our
mis-wiring.
Its funny that Apple never talks about these neat little features.
