I remember the first time, we bought some 10BASE2 ethernet cards and BNC connector cables, and spend hours to figure out why it does not work, only then to learn the next day that we also need cable end terminators (if I remember that correctly). But then it worked and we had lots of fun.

Yes, you need terminators for them :-)

  • ... unless you make it into a ring ... IIRC. It's been a while.

    • The terminator creates a ring I think, so it should be possible to just connect end to end. But then you need to have more cables running around the place.

      No, I realy don't miss those times :-)
