I've seen (and used) such a thing, but they generally cost as much as a 10-Base-T
hub with a 10-Base-2 port, because since 10-Base-2 and 10-Base-T use
different signalling conventions, it basically needs to be a 1-port
10-base-T hub and 10-Base-2 transiever anyway, you don't save much not
having the extra ports, and there's less of a market, so volume
discounts don't apply as much.  The difference between the the two is
more than just the cabling....
