I very much agree - it has the advantage of not being an electrically shared medium however, which is one of the things that made it superior to 10Base2 or 10Base5

Here is some interesting documentation from the original StarLAN Hub -

There is also some neat and ancient documentation still lovingly preserved on the NCR website -
