[comp.sys.next] Request for info on NeXTStation

davidc@contact.uucp (David Carlton) (03/12/91)

I collected a few of them, but recently lost all due to a defective
drive. 8(

As I forsee a NeXT in my future, hopefully within the year, could some
kind soul please E-Mail any interesting info that may give me a better
understanding of the unit? 

On another note, I'd heard that the NeXT dimension board was losing
the JPEG chip? Is this only another rumour started by some 'other'
computer group? It t'would be a shame indeed...

Also, Just how much space does the entire extended software release
take up? 
 
And one more thing... I hear Conner Peripherals is just gearing up to
release CHEAP large SCSI HD's... Now wouldn't NeXT be smart to look
into this. ;)

Gah. Sorry, one more question. Are there many good Tape backup devices
yet for the NeXT? I'd not purchase one without it...

Thanks very much for your time... After half a day at UofT playing
with a slab, I cannot see getting another Unixbox.
 
Yours,
