| It is true that, via hubwatch, the DETMIs can be disconnected from the
thinwire segment.
You can put three DETMIs in a HUB90 and disconnenct each from the
backplane thinwire segment. This would give you three independent
network segments with eight TP ports on each. But you might have
trouble when it came time to attach those segments into the rest of
the network, if that is your intention. If you used the thinwire,
the three DETMIs would no longer represent independent network
segments because of the thinwire connection. A front-panel TP port on
each DETMI could possibly be used for such a connection, but this would
steal one of the user ports from each segment.
If the three DETMIs were standalone, you'd have more options because
the thinwire ports wouldn't be permanently attached to the same
physical segment, and also because of the availability of the
rear-cover AUI port.
If you provide more detail on what you're trying to accomplish, maybe
we can make some concrete suggestions.
