For those who might be curious, the screw-on type AUI were a requirement for TEMPEST installs back in the day. I used to have a bunch of them, too. TEMPEST PC's would have a short cable going from the network card (frequently Western Digital WD8003E) to the bulkhead connector to make the transition inside the beefed up TEMPEST case. Those were the days!!
Intriguing.
By the way, I still have a bunch of AUI to 10BaseT transceivers still in their cute little cardboard boxes. Their marketing life was short and people I worked for ended out with more spares than they could ever hope to use. I imagine they are getting rare at this point.
I still see AUI to 10BaseT or even 10Base2 transceivers quarterly, if not monthly in a few different haunts.
