Peter, remember a terminator IS required on the T piece on your PC. Also
if you do not get an Apple branded AAUI (transceiver) then most of the
others are not auto-terminating (but significantly cheaper). As such you
would then need an additional terminator at the Mac end (these are
really cheap items circa �1 so no worry).
