The NeXTStation
Features and Benefits
Motorola 68040 CPU
The NeXTstation uses a powerful Motorola 68040 CPU that provides
impressive
system performance. The NeXTstation is capable of processing at 15 MIPS
and 2 MFLOPS.
Built-in networking capabilities
Like the rest of the NeXT product line, the NeXTstation has both thin
and twisted-pair Ethernet built in, which makes connecting it to a
network
a snap.
MegaPixel DisplayMegaPixel Display
One of the clearest displays in the industry, the MegaPixel Display
features a screen that measures 17 inches diagonally. You can view a
full
page of your work with plenty of space left over for menus, icons, and
tools.
2.88 MB Floppy Disk Drive
The floppy disk drive lets you store 2.88 MB of information on
inexpensive,
removable disk. It also reads from and writes to 1.44 MB and 720 KB
DOS-formatted
disks.
Compact design
The NeXTstation computer’s main unit was designed to fit under the
NeXT MegaPixel Display, and it doesn’t take up additional space on your
desk.
