DynaPort SCSI/LINK3
DAYNA COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Dayna PORT or DaynaPort SCSI/Link SCSI to Ethernet adapter model DP0800.
Module with DB-25 SCSI connector in and out, and a 10b2 BNC (coax) Ethernet connector. $35 plus shipping, will include an A/C supply, 12VDC, centre positive. SCSI cable extra. ONE available as of Feb 2010
(SCSI/Link-3 only) the SCSI/Link-3 has three ports: AUI, coax (10base2), and RJ45 (10baseT). If you connect to a hub/switch/router port that supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps, the SCSI/Link-3 seems unable to determine which of the three ports to use, and will not establish a connection. This is a hardware compatibility issue that cannot be fixed by software. Either use a 10Mbps-only hub/switch/router, or connect a 10baseT MAU to the AUI port and use that to connect to the rest of the network. This problem does not occur with the SCSI/Link-T, which has only one port (10baseT).
