My question:

> Hi SM,
> i need to connect two SparcStations 2 with thick AUI cable.
> What is pinout of this cable ?
> We have many ones (male----female), but i need "crossed" (male----male)...

SM conclusion:

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE .

It can be done with multiport transceiver or with
two ordinary transceivers and backbone cable connected to them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I used two 10BaseT transceivers and crossed TP cable with RJ-45
connectors and it works fine.
Pinout of this cable is:

1-----------------------------------------3
2-----------------------------------------6
3-----------------------------------------1
6-----------------------------------------2
