oh excellent, I'll message you if I can't find one or end up with ports on the MAU that need resetting

I know someone who lives in Thornton who has one that may loan it to you if you need it.
clabretro
ha!

When I worked for a financial services company in the early 2000's, they had three mainframe computers, Frodo, Gandalf, and Golum, all connected via Token Ring.

Tolkien ring. One ring to rule them all, and in darkness bind them

Sounds like a good occasion to play around with OS/2 and its Communication Manager.
clabretro
I don't, I just learned about those! I'm hoping I can get by without one, but we'll see

Do you have a port reset tool? It's a little big bitter than two 9v batteries end to end. Sometimes it's needed to reset the ports on an unpowered IBM 8228 (?from memory?) MAU ports.
clabretro
enjoy it, hopefully I won't bug you too much when I get into fibre channel!

So, you're ringing in the new year with Token Ring, eh? Now you're token!
Retro Ned
Wow that brings back memories ✌️
Matthew Gregory
Cant wait to see more :)
clabretro
Not yet! But I have another identical card. Also some folks said it should "just work" anyway, so we'll see.
clabretro
Ah, if only there could be more than one token 😆
TrolleyMC
Wow now this has me excited. Were you able to fix that faulty card for the Cisco router?
Jordan
Did you order extra tokens? Make sure to straighten the cables to let them through!
