Never. This is Unix and Mac-land.
I do happen to have some twinax baluns from a former tenant of a
shop that my former employer took over. They previous guys had an AS/400
and terminals on peoples' desks. The best computer in the place was a
486 tower, in 2000! They were in the forklift business - this was some
sort of documentation center for the company.
Anyway... some of the PCs had a 5150 emulation card. Got one, in box,
with cables and original invoice!
They didn't run twinax everwhere. They had CAT4 wire in the walls and
used Baluns on the back of everything, with silver satin cord to the
wall jacks, etc.
