Which coax?

The thick one with the vampire taps, or the daisy-chained cheapernet?

He says 10B2, which was the Thinnet which used BNC connectors prevailingly.

It was 10B5 that used the thick cables that required vampire taps.

Ah, the Yellow Garden Hose! I've only ever seen that at a university. I had thinnet myself though, hooked up to play multiplayer Doom II ... fun days.

not in ohio		 Ah, right. I didn't recognize the abbreviation (at DEC, we always spelled it out: 10base2).
