Last week I asked :

> is there a way to connect a SPARCstation 10 to CDDI ( = FDDI via Shielded
> TwistedPair (?) ) ? We already have TwistedPair cabled around, but to use
> them to connect to a FDDI concentrator I was told we need CDDI interfaces,
> which I haven't seen anywhere as SBus cards. Or do we have to buy real FDDI
> boards and get new cables into the walls ?
