Chris

We have been using TCL V1 transceivers for thin ethernet and the TCL 
multiport transceiver will allow you to mix the modules in a unit. 
The main interface board can be 802.3 and the other boards can be 
a mix or vice versa.

If you want to talk about this more give me a call at (415) 969-4400
