Anyone out there other than me old enough to have run a 10base2 network in their home? My first computers 2 computers when I was in high school I connected together with a 10base2 with 50 ohm terminators and all that. My mom wasnt happy as I literally knocked a hole in her wall without asking her.

This was back when the internet was still fairly new so you would get on with 1200 baud modems to a BBS that would give you a piggyback onto the internet which you might be lucky to get access to for 30 - 60 minutes a day.

10base2 network card attached for prosperity.

Yea I saw this. though it doesnt even connect to your computer to get you 10base2 access. It just converts from one obsolete standard (10base2) to another (10baseT)

10b2 >> 10bT >> rj45 >>fiber? :D is that a thing? How many more adapters do we need to human-centipede to make it work?

Would kinda be fun to find some old school super ass slow networking connectors and chain them them through a series of adapters for each generation till you get to a gigabit network, and then run it on a modern network :)
