Well F#$n great! No I cant because the seller is one of those A-holes who marks it shipped immediately. I sent a couple messages. Who knows
You need a transceiver. There is no such thing as a passive adapter to go between AUI/coax/UTPI have a 3Com Card that only has AUI and BNC. Do these cards require a transceiver or will a simple adapter work? The transceivers are listed on eBay for more then most NICs which is odd.
I think you need to take this somewhere else as this thread is focused on my 486 build.I have a 3Com Card that only has AUI and BNC. Do these cards require a transceiver or will a simple adapter work? The transceivers are listed on eBay for more then most NICs which is odd.

No offense but since you answered in this thread I thought I would be able to ask what you found. But no worries didn't mean to derail your thread.I think you need to take this somewhere else as this thread is focused on my 486 build.
Thank you and that is what I thought. But the discussion above talked about passive adapters from RJ45 to the AUI port and I didn't think that was possible. Thanks for answering it.You need a transceiver. There is no such thing as a passive adapter to go between AUI/coax/UTP
And let's be honest ... if he loved it then it was a good deal for him!The first computer I ever built and sold to a kid down the street was a 486 25mhz. My sister told me that kid was so enamored by that machine he went on to work in IT. Man that machine was nonsense. I needed some quick money. It was really nothing special. And the funny thing of it was monitor I gave him had the worst dot pitch I can recall in memory. .34 or worse. IT was so fuzzy. But its what I had for spare parts. I didnt make much money. Maybe $150 but hey he loved it.
It's highly likely that your board will choke on these. I would cancel the order if you can

Yea i was reading about the checksums. Guess ill have to play with the config utility.Yeah that will work fine. Just make sure to appropriately configure the XUB ROM using the included utility before burning it. The releases don't come checksummed either...
As a side note be sure to enable interrupts if you intend to share the IDE interface with a CDROM
Yes but specifically also in the XUB configYea i was reading about the checksums. Guess ill have to play with the config utility.
Enable interupts on the ide card you mean?
This will be a learning experience for sure.Yes but specifically also in the XUB config
