Hi Kane,
KG>* Written in: HARDWARE
Not come through there yet :-(
KG>Hi All , hope you are having a nice day
Yesterday was wonderful :-)
KG>I have an NCD workstation with 15" Monitor and 4Mbs RAM which takes 
wisted
KG>pair connectors, what I would like to do is get it to communicate with a
KG>thin ethernet network which I have running.
My preferred suggestion is to get a hub which has a BNC port.
KG>Viking Direct sell a device called a Mini Transceiver which converts from
KG>AUI to BNC will this do the trick? I have a socket on the back of the 
east
KG>marked Transceiver.
Can't find it in my copy of their catalogue :-(. But it's a little
out of date... It should do the trick if you have a standard AUI
connector (no guarantees, I've never done it) but I still prefer
getting a hub and using UTP as it allows long term flexibility.
UK Relative prices: (PCP on 01276 686688) all + del & VAT
8 port hub with BNC 45 pounds
BNC/UTP converter   59   "
AUI/BNC Transceiver 22   "
AUI/UTP     "       22   "
KG>Alternatively, does anyone know how to convert the bugger to just a plain
KG>monitor?
No, sorry :-(
George
