This has all been storage for a long time. Need to get rid of my old hardware.
33MHz Color Turbo with 48MB memory + 1GB hard drive. Pretty sure I'm the second owner of this machine. I bought it when NeXT stopped making hardware and the price dropped in half and made it affordable to my just finished university self. It works. I just powered it up the other day. The fan is loud but otherwise sounds fine.
Everything I have:
- the slab, in excellent condition
- Mouse, keyboard and soundbox + all cables to connect everything.
- NeXT CD-Rom drive + 2 caddies (N3010). It doesn't look like it powers up. Also can't find the scsi to scsi II cable needed to connect to the slab.
- OPENSTEP 4.2 User/Developer CDs
- NEXTSTEP 4.0 Prerelease 1 User/Developer CDs - NeXT had redone the user interface for 4.0 but the new changes never made it beyond this prerelease disc.
- The original monitor stopped working long ago and was junked. I bought the cable to connect to a VGA flat panel.
- Book: NeXTSTEP Programming - Garfinkel and Mahoney
- Booklet: The NeXTstep Advantage
I live in Calgary Alberta. Can ship to wherever. Might consider selling individual items if there's something someone wants. Feel free to make an offer. I'll put the pics of everything up somewhere soon.

Can I ask what you used it for, I'm guessing programming?
Is there a certain requirement for what type of LCD VGA screen is needed?
Thanks

Yes I'm a developer. Went from there to the Mac after NeXT bought Apple.
I don't think there'd be any requirement besides having a vga port. I just have some cheap Samsung lcd connected to the slab now.

It's a bit more difficult, especially with the Turbo Color stations. All Color NeXTs require a screen that accepts sync on green, the Turbos also use a 72 Hz instead of 68 Hz refresh rate which some modern LCDs don't support.

;D 100% truth.
Did you jump straight to Rhapsody DR2 or did you wait till Mac OSX was released before your started developing?

I used them all as they were released.
Is this still available?
