Description
NeXT COLOR Station 32 Mb of ram, 16Gb SCSI 2 SD with NeXTSTEP and Apps only, NO peripherals 🙂
NeXTstation COLOR +++++++++++++++
(NeXTstation TURBO COLOR)
NeXTstation Color computers combine near photographic quality color and an object-oriented operating and development environment in an easy-to-use, professional color workstation.
In addition to the same powerful core technologies found in all NeXTstation computers, the 25-megahertz NeXTstation Color and 33-megahertz NeXTstation Turbo Color can also display 4,096 colors simultaneously on NeXT’s MegaPixel Color Displays. The ability to display true color images makes these systems ideal for publishing, presentations, graphic design, computer-aided design, data analysis, and virtually all other applications where color display capabilities are required.
NeXTstation Color computers – which may be configured with 16 to 128 MB of memory – take advantage of the color support offered in Display PostScript, which features the capability of real-time software dithering allowing NeXTstation Color computers to display 32-bit-per-pixel images in 16 bits with near photographic quality.
The technical advances featured in the NeXTstation Color product line, combined with an operating and development environment unequalled in the computer industry, add up to a system capable of handling today’s – and tomorrow’s – true color requirements and applications.

Product Details
68040 Processor
The 68040 is a fast and highly integrated microprocessor with clock speeds of either 25 MHz or 33 MHz. The 68040 contains 1.2 million transistors, more than any other microprocessor in its class. The incredible number of transistors is required because the 68040 is actually four chips in one – a central processing unit, a floating point unit, a paged memory management unit, and 8 kilobytes of cache memory.
The system clock speed is identical to the CPU bus speed, providing an average execution time per instruction of 1.3 clock cycles.
There are two 4-kilobyte memory caches, one for data, the other for instructions, along with burst mode read and write-back caching for improved data transfers.
56001 DSP
Built into the NeXTstation’s design is the 56001 DSP, a 25 MHz digital signal processor. With 24 K of static RAM cache, upgradable to 96 K, the DSP is dedicated to the task of handling digital signals – such as sound – at exceptional speeds.
The DSP is capable of generating compact-disc-quality sound: 44.1 kHz sampling rate with 16-bit resolution and full stereo.
Other uses for the DSP range from receiving still and video images to a variety of other data transmission and acquisition activities.
Network Support
Built-in networking, both thin and twisted-pair Ethernet ports are designed into all NeXT computers.
Network software and administrative tools are preloaded on all hard drives to simplify connecting to virtually any network, with no additional cards to purchase, install, or configure.
DMA Architecture
NeXT computers were designed to handle the most complex tasks efficiently. Rather than emulating a traditional PC or workstation architecture, NeXT systems used a direct memory access (DMA) architecture similar to that of mainframe computers for off-loading I/O functions from the CPU to the peripheral controller (PC) chip to maximize system throughput.
RAM Configurations
NeXTstation Color computers are currently available in 16 or 32 MB RAM configurations.
To support the fast memory transfer capability of the Turbo Memory Controller (TMC), NeXTstations utilize very-high speed (70-nanosecond) 72-pin DRAM SIMMs.
RAM upgrades can be added incrementally in two-SIMM increments up to 32 MB of RAM.
When denser chips (16 MB) become available, NeXTstations can be upgraded up to 128 MB.
Parity memory is also an option and can be ordered on a select number of 16 MB configurations.
SCSI
SCSI is an expandable high-performance interface for connecting NeXTstations to hard disks and other peripherals, such as the NeXT Color Printer, NeXT CD-ROM Drive, scanners, and other devices. Up to seven SCSI peripherals (including the internal hard disk) can be connected.
SCSI data transfer rates are up to 4.8 Mbytes per second (SCSI-I implementation).
A SCSI-II-type connector was used on NeXTstations to provide high data reliability in CPU-to-peripheral connection.
Sound I/O
NeXT computers have been designed to accept and process sound.
Using the built-in microphone in the MegaPixel Display or an external microphone, voice messages can be easily added to electronic mail or used to annotate applications.
NeXTstep
Based on the industry’s first object-oriented system software, NeXTstep offers an elegant graphical user interface and one of the most productive development environments available today.
UNIX
NeXT’s operating system is based on the Mach UNIX kernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University, which features shared memory, fast interprocess communication, multitasking, and network support.
NeXT’s UNIX is compatible with UNIX 4.3 BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution).
Display PostScript
NeXT offers a unified imaging model, Display PostScript, for imaging on both the screen and printer.
