We've had good results with the MicroBat from Eakins Open Systems, (800)776-5665. It's a very small black box that plugs directly into the AUI port on the back of your workstation, with one female BNC jack at the other edge. It's small enough near the AUI connector that it even fits an SLC. There's a jumper inside to enable or disable SQE if you're using something that cares one way or the other. Though the current MicroBat stands straight out from the AUI port, there's a rumored future model with a right-angle connector. It will lay flat on the back of an SLC, which will be useful in low-clearance installations like my office, where my cables rub the wall. (I have no relationship with Eakins other than that of a satisfied customer. It's just a good product that may solve your problem.)
