An A-AUI connector, which converts the proprietary Apple-specified connector 
to either a BNC or an RJ-45.

An A-AUI connector essentially an AUI connector, particularized for Apple's 
machines, requiring less power than a standard AUI connector, and requiring 
less backpanel space than a standard AUI DB-15 connector.

The same connector works on every Ethernet-equipped Apple LaserWriter I have 
personally seen.

This connector also works on pre-Beige G3 machines, and on "legacy" (68K, 
e.g.) PowerBooks.
