You failed to mention the one piece that's still in use! I'll take that BNC splitter if you're not using it.

486DX2 are still used in PC104 computers. I was updating some Turbo C code in a virtual NT computer using VirtualBox almost three years ago.

Kind of strange it doesn't have a termination cap 🤔

But I did mention it! It's the Ethernet splitter. Apart from the terrible speed and sniffing paradise, 10Base2 was a nice solution; no hubs, a single daisy chained cable going around, and adding another computer only required one more splitter and laying a short cable from the last computer to the new one.

I'd gladly give it to you, but you'd have to come by to get it and have a coffee - I'm in Brazil ;-)
