Title: Getting my stuff to work
Post by: Ebbi on August 01, 2014, 01:54:03 AM
Morning lads,

I rediscoverd a bit of NeXT stuff, which I got a few years ago and never made it work properly.
Mostly I remember because of the woes with Sound Boxes, Y cables and ADB/non-ADB. ;)

Hopefully you can tell me which part numbers match and make a working configuration.
So this is my equipment:

NeXTstation

Model No: N1100
Part No: 1715
ROM Version: 2.1 (2918.AB)


NeXTstation Color

Model No: N1200
Part No: 3005
ROM Version: 2.4 v65 M


NeXTstation Turbo Color (says so on the cover)

Model No: N1200
Part No: 3005
ROM Version: 3.3 v74

Sound Boxes

Model No: N4004 (non-ADB)
Part No: 1974

Model No: N4004A (ADB?)
Part No: ?

Keyboards

2x Part No: 2232
1x Part No: 2122
1x Model No: N8002-3664 (ADB)

Mice

1x Part No: 193 (non-ADB)
1x Model No: N8003 (ADB)


Cables

Part No: 1532.00 (Mono NeXTstation Monitor Cable non-ADB, no choke)
Part No: 374.00 (Printer Cable)
Part No: 150.03 (NeXT Computer or NeXTcube 3m monitor cable)
Part No: 2286.01 (station color monitor Y-cable)
Part No: 4536.00 (ADB Y-Cable)


Monitors

Model No: N4005A (MegaPixel 21-inch Color Display)
various other monitors with 13W3 connectors


I got the number from this (http://nextstuff.info/db/ByManufacturer/NeXT%20Computer,%20Inc.) page, so please correct me if something is wrong.

In my opinion the Turbo Color should go with the N4004A ADB Soundbox, 4536.00 Y-cable and ADB mouse and keyboard.

And one of the other station without 3.3 v74 ROM go with the N4004, 2286.01 cable and non-ADB input devices.

Thanks in advance
Ebbi

Hello Ebbi: I'll be happy to help you match up everything and resurrect the collection.  The key is the v74 rom chip as it has support for adb and non adb components . All earlier rom versions only work with non adb hardware.
The soundbox with an icon of a keyboard is non adb whilst the soundbox with a scsi icon on the back is for adb .
Cables 1532 ,150 , 2286 are non adb ,
4536 supports both adb and non adb

Rectangular keyboard and mouse = non adb
Round Mickey Mouse and smaller keyboard with green power button adb needs adb keyboard cable , I have the keyboard cables for $5

Y cable centers at cpu , if they don't power up probably the battery then powersupply .... You should have enough components to atleast swap and test for power ups !

I have plenty of spare parts and will make you a good deal, usps is reasonable for shipping . Best regards Rob Blessin
