I'd love a nextstation colour one day I think they're the coolest

Yes that computer is nicely designed is every way. Think the IT guys at school also had those pizza boxes. The normal engineers needed to use the 386 boxes.
Really cool to own and play with..

Any update on the NEXT..

Not much exciting news so far, mostly acquiring/assembling some essentials to test it.

I got hold of a non-ADB keyboard & mouse for the slab and have arranged a 13W3 cable for video. However these color slabs need a soundbox to manage the keyboard & mouse thanks to Mr Jobs - which is made of purified Unobtanium so I'm looking at alternatives...

Don't know if the SCSI works (or for how long) so it will probably end up being BlueSCSI or similar.

More news when I figure out the missing bits!

Still it’s a very nice machine I hope you can get it running.

The power supply and interior magnesium shell is quite corroded and the back connectors are also affected so it may not be functional without some work. Hopefully there's no damage to the bespoke ICs on the board, otherwise chances are ok that it can be revived.
