 | |||||
| |||||
| Motorola 68040 | Combined central processing (CPU), floating-pint (FPU) and paged memory management (PMMU) units with 8 kilobytes of on-chip cache memory. |
A highly integrated microprocessor providing excellent computing performance, high data transfer rate, and exceptional reliability. | |||
| 16-bit-per-pixel color | NeXTstation Color computers can display 4,096 colors simultaneously, with real-time software dithering of 32-bit images, letting you create images of near-photographi quality | ||||
| NeXT-designed IC's | Turbo Memory Controller (TMC) Peripherial Controller (IPC) |
Supports up to 128MB of fast, interleaved RAM, with prefetching. Supports off-loading of all seven DMA peripheral channels from the main processor, and is capable of running at 50MB per second. | |||
| Motorola 56001 DSP | Provides fast processing of large matrix calculation--used for generating CD-quality sound, music, speech, and tone detection | ||||
| MegaPixel Color Display | 1120x832 resolution with 92 dpi | The 17-inch or 21-inch color displays let you wview sharp, clear text and graphics as well as breathtaking color images, with enough space for runing multiple applications simultaneously. | |||
| Eight built-in ports | SCSI Two RS-423 serial ports DSP I/O Port Display Port Laser printer port Two Ethernet (twisted and thin) ports |
Support of up to seven SCSI peripherials Allows NeXTstations to be tailored to meet your needs with popular serial-based peripherials such as fax and data modems without using expansion slots. Supports direct I/O access to the DSP Provides connection to built-in video. Allows direct connections to NeXT's 400 dpi Laser Printer. Provides easy connection to virtually any Ethernet network without having to purchase additional cards or adapters. | |||
| Built-in sound I/O | Allows voice input to applications with sound-handling capabilities and provides dual channel CD-quality output. | ||||
| NeXT 2.88 MB floppy disk drive | 2.88 MB of storage space using extended density (ED) disks, as well as 720 KB and 1.44 MB disks. Allows for convenient transfer of data files between Macintosh®, OS/2® and MS-DOS®. | ||||
| 16 MB on-board RAM | 4 high-speed SIMM memory sockets expandable to 128MB |
Supports 16 and 32 MB SIMMS in two-SIMM increments. When denser chips (16 MB) become available, NeXTstations can be upgraded up to 128MB. | |||
| Optional parity support | Parity memory checking is available when optional parity RAM is installed. | ||||
| NeXTstep | UNIX®-based operating environment optimized for multitasking and networking. Offers superior graphical user interface and development environment, with the only object-oriented system software available on the market today. | ||||
