The engineers at NeXT
have pioneereed a variety of new technologies to create the
high-performance NeXTstation. At the heart of the computer is a
Motorola 68040 CPU, running at 25Mhz. It is part of a system
architecture that also includes a Motorola 56001 DSP and
an Integrated Channel Processor invented at NeXT. The NeXTstation
provides exceptional system throughput
and performance.
The NeXTstation includes 8 MB of
main memory, which can be expanded to an impressive 32 MB. It offers
the latest in floppy disk technology; our 3.5-inch floppy disk drive
stores 2.88 megabytes of information and can also read from and
write to 1.44 MB and 720 KB DOS- formatted disks. The 105 MB
internal hard disk drive that comes with the com- puter is preloaded
with NeXT system software; 200 MB and 400 MB hard disk drives are
available optionally. High-per- formance Ethernet capabilities are
built in--the computer offers both thin and twisted-pair
Ethernet. |
Motorola 68040 CPU
|
The NeXTstation uses a
powerful Motorola 68040 CPU that provides impressive system
performance. The NeXTstation is capable of processing at 15 MIPS
and 2 MFlOPS |
Built-in
networking capabilities |
Like the rest of the NeXT product line,
the NeXTstation has both thin and twisted-pair Ethernet built
in, which makes connecting it to a network a snap. |
MegaPixel Display |
One of the clearest displays in the
industry the MegaPixel Display features a screen that measures
17 inches diagonally. You can view a full page of your work
with plenty of space left over for menus, icons, and
tools. |
2.88 MB Floppy Disk
Drive
|
The floppy disk drive lets you store 2.88 MB
of information on inexpensive, remov- able disks. It also reads
from and writes to 1.44 MB and 720 KB DOS-formatted
disks. |
Compact design |
The NeXTstation computer's main unit
was designed to fit under the NeXT MegaPixel Display, and it
doesn't take up additional space on your
desk. | |
