Just received an information flyer from NeXT and two items caught my attention: First, those specs show a 4.0 MB/sec max transfer rate for the 105 MB hard disk, but an 8.0 MB/sec max transfer rate for the 340 MB disk. Second, all of the systems are listed as FCC Class A, rather than the expected Class B. Many of these systems, after all, will end up in school dorms (residences, however humble). Can anyone offer explanations or experiences related to these two curiosities?

I had heard from our NeXT salesman that FCC Class B certification was expected, but that the approval process takes a long time. So, they can only claim Class A for now. I guess Class A certification must be easier/faster to get.

I am at this moment using my NeXTstation (known as lewhoosh.umd.edu) at home, using tip to dial into the NeXTcube that I use on campus. My NeXTstation is right next to my stereo, which is playing an FM radio station that is located, oh, about 50 miles away. Nope, no interference here.. and since my family members haven't yelled at me regarding bad TV reception yet, I can only assume they don't have any quibbles either. By the way, I highly suggest that anyone who hasn't listened to the Ensemble/ Scores files in stereo (i.e. through headphones or on a full-blown stereo), do so immediately. It'll blow yer mind. Now, if only I could figure out why tip put me in all UPPER case there once, and it won't let me hit ^X^C to get out of emacs... (I'm using vi now). >-- >Bob Peirce, Pittsburgh, PA 412-471-5320 >...!uunet!pitt!investor!rbp rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us Mike
