Others are more than welcome to participate to gather more information, articles about and other printed stuff about NeXT Inc., NeXTSTEP and Openstep, as well as other related products from NeXT. This great OS is the foundation on which Apple and the Mac will be built on for years to come and it would be fun if more Mac users would learn about where it comes from."

    This reminded me of something I found a while back, a scan of the NeXT Network and System Administration Manual. Good one to add to your collection.

    My Nextstation has an ADB keyboard and mouse.

    Some of the later NeXTstations had ADB interfaces and peripherals. The earlier ones used, AFAIK, their own proprietary interface. The 5 pin DIN sounds like the older style to me. If the mouse is rectangular (not rounded) it is the older style.
