16/4 Token Ring
Granted, only one server remains, but when I do turn it on for that once-every-six-month job, I have to dig out the long reach type1 "hermaphrodite" connectors from the loft, install the token ring card to a pc, and fire it all up. I could probably get an ethernet card for the server for about 30 quid 2nd user, just never got round to it since 1998.........

It was a sad day for me
When my then office token ring kit was binned in favour of it's cheaper cousin back in 97 or 98....the hussy! I did mean that I inherited £3000 worth of token ring switches for my house though!!!!!!!

Nostalgic click for keeping the token flying.

I remember when Token Ring was new
Just give me a minute while I IPL the cluster controller.

My family have lived in our current house since 2002
Until we got broadband, and Wi-Fi to accompany it, we occasionally trailed a long coax cable down the stairs to transfer stuff and play games.
