Those will really be handy.  ;-)

I think I still have a 10baseT hub with a coax connector on it. 
However, I haven't noticed any ISA bus computers here for quite a while.

BTW, back in the mid '90s, I worked on a project to convert some
provincial government offices around Queen's Park from 10base2 to
10baseT.  In some cases, it was just a matter of changing the cables to
get the NIC on 10baseT.  Others were a minor config change, but others
had to be replaced.  There were also several HP printers that needed new
NICs.

My first experience with Ethernet was with a DECNET that connected some
VAX 11/780 systems.  That was the old 10base5 network with vampire taps.
