Hi Folks,

I just had a NeXTcube (N1000A) bestowed upon me, just the cube - no manual, no cables, no display, keyboard or mouse. I would love to get it up and running, but I'm aware that this is no trivial matter.

I would at least like to see an owner's manual, so I can see what the original setup included (so I know what all is missing) and how peripherals are supposed to be connected. I haven't found a downloadable of the manual, or even an original one for sale.

It's my impression from what I've read online that hooking up any kind of keyboard or mouse would be through a NeXT display. What are my options, if I don't have access to the original NeXT hardware?

Please help a newbie dummy! Thanks in advance.

You need to talk with Rob Blessin of computer powwow/Black Hole Inc.  He'll fix you up with everything you need.

Ed...... :-)

I have a keyboard for sale, but ya...you'll need a monitor to connect it to.

Rob is the expert, but you need:
Keyboard
Y-connector cable
Sound box
Mouse

Mouse > Keyboard > Ycable > Soundbox and monitor
