100Base-T2 Signaling

 
While at SMC I proposed a scheme for transmitting 100Mb Ethernet over Category 3 twisted pair cable. This scheme transmitted data with a 3 level code on 3 wire pairs while listening for a collision on a forth pair. This arrangement eventually became the ill-fated 100BaseT2 standard.
