BNC token ring networking connector.

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

oh yeah, it's from the early 80s, and since it followed the 70s, my memories may be a bit fuzzy...      :drunk3:

BNC connector I think it was called, used it on the scitex network for the whispers and prismas etc...I think it was 10bt based but I could be completely wrong.

"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

It is a BNC connector, but for Ethernet, not for Token Ring. When I looked up the image I originally also did not recognize it any longer, even though I've plugged in a million of these. I do still remember thinking 'What idiot now decided to use a slightly wider modem cable' when they introduced the current type of plug. I think I still have an ethernet terminator lying around here somewhere. Yup, in those days even the network had a terminator, just like good old SCSI.
