I never worked with 10base5 but found this fascinating. I heard stories of "vampire taps" from people in college back in the 90's.
My first home network was 10base2, originally between a 486 and a 386, where we played Doom. was surprised to find out about the grounding requirement for one of the terminators. I never did that. I guess it was a small enough network so it didn't matter.
