Most likely I have it, no matter what that "it" is regarding older network
stuff. Email me directly with, hopefully, an idea of what exactly you need
and I will look in my boxes.

What I think they are talking about with the tap etc. is that you have the
thick coax, then you have a thing that taps into the coax, and that "thing"
typically has a AUI 15 pin connection with a cable to the AUI on your
computer. Disconnecting the cable is what I think they mean.
