Ethernet was created at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) for use with early personal computers such as Altos. These computers predate IBM PCs by many years. However they were expensive and their use was mostly confined to research laboratories. Ethernet was formally standardized around 1980 by Xerox, Intel, and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and soon afterward Digital started supporting ethernet in the computers they manufactured (such as VAXes and DECsystem 20s). Personal workstations like those made by Sun Microsystems also started to appear at about this time, and most of them also supported Ethernet.
Due to memory limitations and the lack of operating system support, ethernet did not really become practical for IBM-style PCs until the early 1990s.

What type of networking device would allow the PCs to communicate?

What do two PCs need to communicate with each other?
To communicate with each other, two PCs need a network connection, which can be established through wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) means. They also require a common communication protocol, such as TCP/IP, to ensure data is formatted and transmitted correctly. Additionally, both PCs should have appropriate networking software and configurations, such as IP addresses, to facilitate the exchange of information.

What year did pcs become widely available?
Personal computers (PCs) became widely available in the early 1980s, with the release of models like the IBM PC in 1981 and the Apple Macintosh in 1984. These models, along with the rise of compatible software and peripherals, contributed to the growing popularity of PCs in homes and businesses. By the mid-1980s, PCs had become a common fixture in many households.
How many parallel ports on PC?
Most standard PCs typically have one parallel port, which is often used for connecting printers and some other devices. However, some older models or specialized systems may have two or more parallel ports. With the shift to USB and other modern interfaces, parallel ports have become less common in contemporary PCs.
What device and cost to connect 4 PC to a cable modem?
You can buy a router and 4 ethernet cables if the PCs do not have WiFi or a WiFi router and however many ethernet cables that you need would be a better solution and would also give you a WiFi capability for other devices. Routers can cost from a wide range and are often sold at below retail prices and the same for ethernet cables. While you could spend over $200 it is possible to be under $50 depending on the type of router and the brand and length of the ethernet cables
