Well, someone else said that the AUI spec is for a 15-pin connection. I may 
be mistaken on that being an AUI socket. Ok...it's a 2-Megabit connector, 
pre-AUI. I happen to have 50-feet of that cable and a couple of those cards 
lying around.

Your best bet is still to get a couple NE2000-compatible cards for about $35 
(US) and use those. Drivers for those are built-into Win95 and cabling is 
REALLY easy to come by and dirt cheap! :)
