| What's NeXT for Me? |
Posted by: Scott Baret on 2008-04-14 15:55:29
Either tomorrow or Wednesday, I will be buying my first NeXT for the cool price of $25. It comes with the monitor and printer.
I'm not sure what kind it is but it's a NeXT nonetheless.
I also will be getting some more software some time this week. A guy dug up FIVE Print Shops for me. Amazing! I hear there's also a few Carmen Sandiegos and Wagon Train 1848 in the lot...but sadly no MS Works 3.
That brings the Print Shop total to 11. I honestly need to take a picture of the disks, it looks like a Broderbund factory outlet.

$25, that's a steal, regardless of model!
I paid $150 for a NeXTstation turbo with monitor, printer, and CD-ROM drive.

That stuff is so hard to find in the UK I've resorted to running NeXTSTEP on a Sun SPARCstation 20 instead. It has it's perks (like 24-bit video and 448MB of RAM, oh an a 85MHz RISC CPU) but I guess it's not quite the same...

A hinthint that will fall upon ears deaf to the idea of sharing/archiving older software on the Internet.
Anyway, congrats on the NeXT! It's always exciting to try out a new platform, and with luck you can get everything going in a moderately usable way!

If you need help and advice then http://www.nextcomputers.org/ has a good forum for NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Rhapsody users.

Well, I just got the system...it says NeXT Station on it, it's a really flat and wide box. The date on the back of the monitor is 1991. There's also some sort of laser printer with it.
Then there was the software haul...all Macintosh versions...
-5 Print Shops
-2 Where in Time is Carmens
-1 Carmen USA
-2 Carmen Worlds
-1 Wagon Train 1848
-1 After Dark
-1 Calendar Maker
Yes, I now have 11 Print Shops....

That would make it a 'Slab' as opposed to a 'Cube' then 🙂
Did it come with Keyboard/Mouse too? If not, it'll be a bit of a pain to find them if it didn't and its not an ADB model...
Does it have any other names on it, like 'turbo'?

It's got the keyboard and mouse but no monitor cable...
Didn't see Turbo on it but I'll look again...it's still in my trunk.

Sounds like a standard NeXtstation
see http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Docs/Hardware/nextstation.pdf
The monitor cable may be a bit of a nightmare to get hold of though

A NeXTStation turbo color was sold on ebay recently.
