I have this S buss card that has ethernet connector that is a small
14 pin d connector. Is that for token ring or can I get a cable to
connect a standard ethernet device.

The SCSI connector is ( I think) a standard SCSI port.

I would like to have another ethernet link from this Sparc 20.

I have done some searches but so far have found nothing

Thanks

501-1869 is a scsi and buffered ethernet sbus card. It has a standard
RJ45 jack for ethernet and a 50 pin micro D scsi connector.

Are you sure that part number is what you have ?

Hi,

Where did you read this?

This card has a 14 pin connector for Ethernet but you need an adapter to
connect it to a standard network.

I was thinking of an FSBE/S card, now that I double check I've never
even seen a SBE/S card.

From the URL I gave you above;

] Notes
]
] 1. Use Adapter Cable 530-1812 for 10BASE5 Ethernet.
] 2. Use Adapter Cable 530-1813 for 10BASE-T Ethernet.

It's likely to be easier/cheaper to get a FSBE/S card (501-2015 or
501-2981) than to find that adaptor cable.

The user's guide (pointed to from the reference section of that URL)
has a pinout for the connector so you might be able to make a cable if
you can find a plug that fits it (it's just breaking out 4 connections
to RJ45).

Ok thanks for that info. I will look up the connections and make a cable.
I found a cable that adapts the 14 pin connector to a 9 bin D connector
so I can take off the 9 pin and put on a RJ45 or something.

Now to look up the pin connections.

Thanks for the help.
