   What is
the purpose of the "DSP" port? (Two triangles beside it, one 
 pointing up and one down, and the connector is 15-pin)  
 	I'm sure there must have been something that was made to plug into 
 that port, but I don't know what.  It leads to a Digital Signal 
 Processor.  
 Yeah I think there's a sound box with a speaker, and some audio connectors. 
  ...which doesn't connect to the DSP port.  It connects to the
video/kbd/audio connector on color NeXT machines.  The NeXT soundbox
isn't used on mono machines because the speakers and audio connectors
(and sometimes the mic, depending on version) are built into the
monitor.
