I have a NeXT Computer cube. On the back of the Cube
it has a NeXT logo and under the logo is in bold "Computer".
I was told that some cubes have instead of "Computer" either
"Cube" or "Turbo". Is this true? Did the text on the back
of the NeXT cube change over time? Can anybody point out any
other differences on the back cover of the NeXT cube.

The Cubes that shipped with the original 68030 logic boards say "Computer"
on the back.
Later units said other things.

The text on the back panel changed when the insides changed. The NeXT
Computer was the first one, before Stations existed, and read
"Computer" (and was a 68030, IIRC); the Cube was differentiated from
the Station (and was a 68040), and the Turbo was faster (a 33MHz
instead of 25MHz 68040). They're different models which all shared the
same case design.

Thanks for the info. What would be nice is
a list of different back covers and the Text
that goes with each cover. Does any body on the
list have a Cube with someting other than the
NeXT logo and "Computer" on the back cover.
To start the list
1. NeXT logo and under the logo "Computer" 68030 1989?
