Back in that era in Australia, offices all seemed to either be strung together with a spiderweb of coax for 10-base-2 or some variant of AppleTalk/PhoneNet. Can't say I ever saw anything of ARCnet except in magazines. Latticenet killed it all in an incredibly short period of time, seemed like a matter of months back then where piles of coax could be found in the skips at the back of buildings and contracters were literally everywhere putting in twisted pair. Crazy times.
What were you using ARCnet for?
