The Nextcube, the Nextstation (aka slab), the Nextstation Color, and Turbo versions of both Cube and Nextstation. The first Cubes were based on the Motorola 68030 cpu, subsequent machines used the MC68040. Turbo machines run on a 33Mhz 68040, otherwise Next hardware used a 25Mhz 68040. Next ‘040 hardware also includes a MC56001 DSP, 10Base2 and 10BaseT ethernet, a backplane port to the DSP, stereo audio I/O via connections on either the Megapixel (greyscale) monitor or an external Sound Box, two mini DIN-8 RS-232C serial ports, Next Printer port, and monitor connections. The SCSI connector is a “SCSI-2” high-density 50 pin connector, the same connector used on Sun hardware. Next ‘030 machines include the MC56001 DSP, 10Base2 ethernet, mini DIN-8 RS-422 serial ports, a 25-pin SCSI connection on the backplane, as well as display and printer connections.
