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.

Couldn't find anything on eBay, so here's Amazon

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)
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 :)
