Is there any hardware available to allow the interconnection of Ethernet V1 and
V2/802.3 controllers without the reliability problems introduced by having both
V1 and V2 transceivers attached to the same cable?

Specifically, what's the best way to connect computers with Ethernet V1
controllers (e.g. a Symbolics 3600) to a thinwire ethernet?  Do there exist
either multiport repeaters or multiport transceivers that are capable of
adapting V1 controllers to V2/802.3 transceivers, or vice versa?  Or thinwire
transceivers that will talk to V1 controllers?  Thanks.
