I hope this is a good newsgroup for this question.  If it's not, will someone
suggest group(s) that are.  

I am working on the DTE side of a hardware interface to an AUI.  I know that
there is really very little involved in this interface, but I have never done
one before and I would really like to get it right the first time.  I am
especially interested in grounding/shielding/isolation issues.  I have some
application notes, but I was hoping to find some additional documents/books
that could warn me of pitfalls, and recommendations on how to build the most
reliable interface.  I do have the latest IEC/ISO 8802-3 specification on
the 802.3 standard.  I have seen some designs that add isolation transformers
on the DTE side of the AUI, is this a good idea?

Thanks in advance,

Boyd Stere
