Hello, I am seriosly thinking about buying a NeXTstation Color but I had a few questions. Does the NeXTstation Color have the same i860 processor as the NextDimension to speedup color PostScript to the screen or does it depend solely on the '040 for graphics processing? What size drives can the NeXTstations take? Are they half-height or full? It doesn't make alot of sense to me to pay $2000 more for a 340 Mb drive from NeXT when you can get much larger ones for the same price. Is it possible that NeXT will pass on the savings of the new Mactor drives to potential buyers (535Mb for $1450)? Does NeXT use Maxtor drives? Can a NextStation be purchased without a hard drive? (Can one boot utilities from a floppy?) What is NeXT credit? What does becoming a NeXT developer require and what are the benefits? Thanks in advance for any information anyone can give. tjb ____________________________________________________________________________ | Thomas J.
