Hi everybody!

This relates to our attempt to connect our antiquated by cherished
Coulter EPICS CS computer to a faster machine of IBM standard. We ahve
been lucky to find a benefactor who sent us an EPICS main board with the
Ethernet card attached. The problem now is how to connect it to the PC?
The J2 plug connected to the rear wall outlet on the EPICS pedestal
marked ETHERNET (supposed to go into the EPINET card outlet)is a 14 pin female
_______________
|o o x o o x x| o-wired, x-empty.
|o o x o o x o|
------|_|------

The outlet on the EPINET card we have got looks like that:
_____________
| o o o o o | --> this side up when mounted inside EPICS
| o o o o o |
-------------
| | | | | pins connecting the outlet to the EPINET board.

So, the two do not match. I hope I can get or buy here a
replacement plug fitting the outlet, although I would gladly accept a
gift if somebody has the thing collecting dust in the attic. However, to do
the thing right, I
must know the connections, i.e., which pin in the EPINET card outlet is
which AND how do they correspond to the EPINET outlet on the rear wall of
the EPICS. So, I would really greatly appreciate if anybody could find these
informations for me!!

Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering all of you with technicalities!

Regards,

Jacek
