Ok. I just checked again on the Cabletron web page and it looks like I
got the numbers reversed :-(. The EA419 is TP and the EA412 is TP+BNC.

My excuse is that I still haven't got a ISA board to mount the cabletron
PCB. I have found one company, but they want DM49,- (about $33) for a
ISA experimantal board, and it would be AT, not XT. So I'm still searching.
Maybe I find something on the flea market tomorrow.
