Course Description
The 1970s is alive in 2020!
You may have read about it in books. Or seen PowerPoint slides about.
But, have you seen a fully working 10Base5 and 10Base2 retro network? This stuff is from the 1970s, but I created one in 2020!
See practical demonstrations of:
- Bus Network
- Vampire taps
- Transceivers
- 10Base5 cabling
- 10Base2 cabling
- Windows 3.11 connecting to the Internet
- Ethereal (predecessor to Wireshark)
- Windows 98 10Base5 computers

This is a true working example of what networks looked like in the very beginning.
