Some days I feel like “Doc Brown”, wondering where I parked the DeLorean. — YES ... connecting your HP 9000 to your private LAN would be useful. ThinNet = 10-Base-2 = 10 MB Ethernet over RG-58/U 50 ohm coaxial cable. The Series 360 workstation should also have an AUI port (15-pin D-subminiature w

The 360 seems to have a 15 pin AUI connector as well as the thin connector so you can get a 10-BAseT transceiver and connect it to the AUI that is what I did for my 380.  I don't think there is any support for ethernet in things like Workstation BASIC you would likely need to be using a OS like

Hi All, I am using an HP 9000 Series 360 with a "Thin LAN" coax card to run a piece of equipment. The LAN connection is not currently being used.  I'm wondering if it's possible to connect it to a modern ethernet network?  If so, what could I do with it? I found an adapter on Amazon. I would
