I picked up a NeXtStation TurboColor box today at a hamfest. A kid had
just bought 3 monitors, 4 boxes and a small stack of manuals and sold
me the extra system box for $25. No memory or hard disk and (of course)
no monitor, cable, keyboard, mouse or software.
Does anyone have experience with these systems? Any tips on getting
the pieces needed to get it running?

I just bought a Color Turbo with Trinitron monitor, laser printer,
keyboard, sound box, all cables but no mouse for $100.00. had to get
around the root password. I need manuals, as there was no doc with it.
Also need docs for Wordperfect for NeXT as there seems to be a problem
with the keyboard drivers in wordperfect.

Check with deep space technologies and see if they're still in the biz.
They treated me nice... very smart on NeXT hardware.

These are great boxes. For RAM they will use almost any 72pin SIMM (though
they have the ability to use double-sided SIMMS if you can find them...).
As far as the rest of the pieces go, try Deep Space Technologies
(http://www.deepspacetech.com). Also, a local "surplus" place by me
usually has some NeXT bits (mice, keyboards, etc). Let me know if I can
help with anything.

Will you check on the price and availability of a black NeXT ADB mouse
for me. mine was missing and I'm using a glidepad from my mac until I
find the mouse.
TIa,

I'll see if I can get down there later this week and see what they have.
They've got REALLY crappy hours so it's kinda tough.
I may also have one of these mice at home, I need to go find the "mouse
box"
