Car boot sale. Heheheheh. Over here, people have garage/carport/yard sales. Anyone selling something out of a car trunk is a little suspect (no pun, here), a minority, or selling organic produce.

I see USB. Seriously you need to go on ebay or google before posting this kind of question.
I mean we are not talking 50 year old equipment here. ::)

Nope, that's a really old token link network card. I ran coax in my parents house years ago to get a network. At the time, I really had no interest in messing with cat3 with all it's tiny wires and expensive connectors, so I went with cheap coax and twist-on Radio Shack connectors. It worked fine for years despite maxing out at 2mbps.
I could never figure out what the wide female connector was for, but I never used it. :dunno

Wow, that connector is huge. Is that a 25 pin? I thought that was an AUI, but I just found my big box of 3Com NICs yesterday and the AUI on those is a 15 pin. Maybe it's a proprietary AUI? Get the model and part number of that card and I'm sure it'll be in the manual.
