[rescue] looking for pictures of old Ethernet stuff

Hi folks,

For a personal project I'm trying to get every possible Ethernet standard
to work together on one layer 2. (e.g. 10Base5 -> today).  The hard part
has been getting the old hardware.

I've been looking for actual 10Broad36 and 1Base5 ("StarLAN" or "StarLAN
1") equipment for a while without luck. At this point, I'd be happy to just
get pictures of the equipment.

I've worked with both early in my career but didn't save any.

Side note:  if anyone is aware of the different technologies that were
labeled as StarLAN, please let me know.  I know that there was 1Base5 and
pre-standing 10BaseT but I've also found some token-ring but I can't find
any documentation about it.

Thanks in advance,

-Rich
