It was thus said that the Great Sam Ismail once stated:
COOL!
I finally got a NeXT cube! I got it with a MegaPixel Display for $150.
I have some questions. First, I'm assuming mine is a later revision
because the motherboard has a date of 1990 on it. The CPU is a 68040.
All my simm slots are filled up. How much memory does this mean it has?
Now, I can't get the damn thing to boot up, because I can't figure out
where to plug the keyboard into. I know this sounds stupid and all, but
the keyboard connector is a round mini-DIN type with a peg in the center.
The two connectors on the back that look like it would fit in (labeled 'A'
and 'B') don't have a hole in the center for the peg to fit into, so they
obviously aren't for the keyboard. Where does the keyboard go?
Mouse plugs into keyboard. Keyboard plugs into monitor. Monitor plugs
into Cube. Cube plugs into wall. Simple.
