Token Ring Networks
🕑 Added 2023-08-27 13:43:42 +0000 UTCI've been very slowly acquiring stuff to network some older PCs via Token Ring, a competing standard to ethernet that saw a lot of traction in enterprises in the 1980s and early 90s.
Here, we have a complete in-box token ring PCI card from 3Com (a company co-founded by the inventor of ethernet, ironically enough). Eventually, I'll have what we need to do a full network setup and video on it!

Ran token ring with OS/2 Warp and Windows NT clients on the front-end with a Novell Netware back-end. Peak 90's enterprise technology.

Just needs some Novell Netware to really finish out the 90's enterprise.
