Is there any hardware available to allow the interconnection of Ethernet V1 and V2/802.3 controllers without the reliability problems introduced by having both V1 and V2 transceivers attached to the same cable? Specifically, what's the best way to connect computers with Ethernet V1 controllers (e.g. a Symbolics 3600) to a thinwire ethernet? Do there exist either multiport repeaters or multiport transceivers that are capable of adapting V1 controllers to V2/802.3 transceivers, or vice versa? Or thinwire transceivers that will talk to V1 controllers? Thanks. -- Chris Maio, chris@columbia.edu or seismo!columbia!chris

The main interface board can be 802.3 and the other boards can be a mix or vice versa. If you want to talk about this more give me a call at (415) 969-4400 Kim Dimick Bridge Comm. Mt. View
