The 8232 can use either of the following Ungermann Bass cards:

2273A - requires external transceiver (which can of course be thick or thin
        wire Ethernet) not included in the price.

2274A - contains internal transceiver for thin (BNC connector), or can be
        used with an external transceiver - not of course included in
        the price - via the usual 15pin connector.

As we are using thin wire, we decided to go for the latter.

It was a bit of a struggle to fit the adapter into place, if I recall
correctly we had to remove the plastic card guide then it went in OK.

The manual (GA27-3785-1 IBM 8232 LAN Channel Station Operator's Guide)
only mentions the 2273A.  I can't remember how we discovered that the
2274A would also work.  Certainly no other kind of adapter is supported,
as has already been pointed out by other contributors to the list.
