Have a look at the (relatively) new CableComm AUI-to-ThinWire transceivers.
These units are smaller than a pack of cigarettes and cost less than $100.
Plugged into the AUI port on a PI (note: w/o any AUI cable!) still
leaves enough room to connect the ThinWire cable with its T-connector
AND put the plastic skins back on the case!
