AUI uses a DB15 connector with a rather unique securing clip, while AAUI
uses a compact 14 pin connector which looks somewhat like a really short
SCSI-2 connector, but not quite.

They're otherwise electrically identical, and you can sometimes find
AUI-AAUI cables.

The brand or type of AAUI adapter should be 100% transparent to the driver.
I'd personally reccomend finding a used dayna mini powerbook AAUI->10bT
adapter, if only for the comparitavley un-clumsy form factor. I got mine on
eBay from Daniel K. Janisch <sales@powerbookguy.com>.
