Hi,
I have a mono turbo complete boxed up in basement together with lots of software, comlete 3.0 manuals, literature, floppy disks and hardware. Not used in 15 years.
Any pointers to a special interest museum or expo for NeXT history in Germany/DACH welcome. I am willing to part for a good cause (but not to be stored away invisibly).
Cheers,

Hi,
I might have one of the largest NeXT collections in Germany (but love to be proven wrong :)), but it's currently only sitting in my home office (see attached picture) - though I'm planning to discuss a special exhibition with the owner of the Kommunikationsmuseum here in Bamberg next week...
But I guess there are some institutions that are open to the public. I can recommend getting in touch with ISER, the Informatik-Sammlung at Erlangen University (https://www.iser.fau.de (https://www.iser.fau.de)). There, the NeXT would be in the company of a Zuse Z23 and a lot of other interesting machines.
If you have any rare/special hardware or software, it might be interesting to obtain scans of the manuals and dumps of the media.
