Allied telesis makes a line of multi-port repeaters with a combination of 
thin and AUI ports.  They are available in 2,4,5,and 9 port configurations.
The 2 can be any combination of thick and thin, the 4 is a 2 and 2 combo,and
the 5 and 9 are 1AUI and the rest thin for 1 4 and 1 8 setups.

We use them on our campus and have been pleased with performance and 
reliability thus far.
