An EA419 looks exactly the same as an EA412. The only difference is that
the EA419 has a BNC port and a TP port where the EA412 only has a TP
port. The boards should be identical, but on the EA412 some parts needed
for the BNC port are not soldered on the PCB. You can open the box by
removing the plastic glued on the top of the housing. Then you can see
the screw that holds the thing together.

Do you need a AUI->BNC tranceiver for your SPARC? There is a fleamarket
here in munich on saturday. They usually have tranceivers for about ten
marks (that's about $7). If you wish, I can get one and send it to you.
With BNC you don't need a hub.
