I got hit with the stuff on the first day I did networking. I was the kid, so the old guy hands me a vampire tap, and asks me what is it, expecting me not to know. But I knew right away as I’d read about them in the 1989 1st edition of the UNIX System Administration Handbook. But we were pulling it all out for this 16MB TokenRing stuff as this was going to be the wave of the future!

It went up on Hack a Day and despite being three years old, the site not the hardware, it got not very favorable reviews there.

Too many people always respond poorly back there. A few did provide favorable ones, and mention that they used hardware discards, either from work or from school to build their home services.
