Ah, I wondered if it might be something like that.  I've tried it with
three or four different AUI transceivers, and never found a pair that
worked back-to-back.  The problem, as others have noted, is the
collision pair.

The cheapest easiest way to do what you want (convert 10baseT to
10base2 or similar) is to buy a small secondhand 10baseT hub that has a
suitable AUI (sometimes (mis)labelled "10base5") or 10base2 port, often
described as an "uplink".   Have a look on eBay.
