You could always get an AUI-to-10BaseT transceiver; they shouldn't be
all that much on eBay.  Be sure that you get the kind that have the
RJ-45 jack and AUI port on opposite ends or that the one you get comes
with an AUI cable.  You want something like
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2019211293> or
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2018553495> or
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2018927679> instead
of something like
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2019502672> without
a cable.

Actually, though, if you can get ahold of some AUI cables (these are
probably cheaper than transceivers), I have some of the latter kind that
I bought without cables, not realizing at the time I needed them.  I
could sell them to you cheap or trade a couple for a few short AUI
cables if you're interested.  Mail me off-list if you want to talk about
this more.
