Hacking up a S/PDIF DAC to add a wordclock output at my parents' place (that BNC came from a 10BASE2 network card, IC is scavenged CMOS)pic.twitter.com/BQP2rekRio
This is the poor thing the BNC came from. Yes, this is a *PCI* 10BASE-2/10BASE-5/10BASE-T card. Must've been one of the last models.pic.twitter.com/N7fVUaFatt

And if you don't know what thinnet is and the term "NE2000 clone" doesn't bring back (probably bad) memories, get off my lawn!
-
The use of "get off my lawn" is extremely accurate on your last tweet, given the "age" on that technologies...

I'm pretty sure I still have a card like that somewhere in my stash - used it to connect a 486 (with BNC only) and Celeron back in the day.

Back before my dad moved his office back home we were still using an old P90 and PII (I think?) as firewall and server w/thinnet.

Actually we used cards like these back in 1999/2000 at our first LAN parties. First with coax, later someone bought a hub.

And everyone had to bring his own patch cable.

IIRC 10Base-5 required active tees attached to the AUI port of the NIC
-
It did - there's an AUI header on the board (needs an external bracket for the connector though)

Old Genius logo. The only thing more nostalgic would’ve been Acorp.
