I'd concur with this :) I'm looking at the back of a Sun SPARC 4 that has 
just that sort of connector (15 pin D with <...> by it).

An AUI connecter, aka 10base5 or Thick Ethernet is useful as with a 
suitable AUI <-> 10baseT or AUI <-> 10Base2 tranceiver (about 20 quid) you 
can connect it to a network. :)

centronics syle...

      /	_\_
      \  /

The network one is marked (ok,

Yep ... that's another network (I assume those squares are sorta computers 
with keyboards underneath).
