Hi all,

Any Aussies out there know a good place to look for an ethernet adapter
that will fit a Microvax II? I have a nice machine, complete with VMS 5.4,
freshly rescued from a scrap metal yard, but it has no network adapter.

While I'm at it, AUI-10Base2(or t) transceivers are also getting rare,
(around here anyway) since I have a Vax 6220 in need as well, any good
sources?
S/H preferred. I'd like 2 or 3 if possible.

BTW, Huw, did you ever come across a source for a Vax 8530-Console cable?
(With that subject line, I just know you'll read this!)
You mentioned some time back that you might know where one was.
The Pro380 console for it now has a new hard disk, with the console
software successfully installed, it just needs a cable to make the
poor old beast functional. (Backplane permitting)
I see what you mean about the backplane too.
