My NeXT Cube at home has a NeXT Dimension color board. This thing does 32-bit graphics (yeah, w/ alpha chanel), has 3 video (1 s-video, 2 composite) INPUT ports and 2 S-Video and composite ports. Has a RISC processor on-bard and it's own memory.

This idea was remotely touted with in a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where Riker accidentally faces himself after a transporter fsckup.
The "duplicate" Riker (left alone on an abandoned planet for years) would be, in this scenario, the Riker that would have been "killed" (destroyed, dismantled, atomically-disassembled or whatever).

The problem is that as time go on, this artificial blackhole gathers mass, and by gravitational pull, attracts more mass, until it goes nova.
That could be a problem while driving your car.

Suddenly, you have an OS that does everything Linux does and can even run Linux binaries (thanks to BSD Linux-binary compatibilty)
Actually, MOSX *would* run LinuxPPC binaries if it actually used the ELF ABI (application binary interface), which is not the case.
MOSX runs Mach-O (I *hate* this name), XCOFF and PEF (itself an extension of XCOFF) binaries.
Mind you, someone could write an ELF loader and use that to load LinuxPPC binaries--something that could easilly be added to Darwin. I actually have such code (for which I claim no credits).

I have a Cube (Serial no 2784) with NeXT Dimension board (to a black Fimi monitor), sound box, a N2000 printer, and a NeXT Station Color ("color slab").
I have recently cannibalized the HD and memory of the color slab (and some from an old Mac II, rev. A) to make the Cube work. The Cube was salvaged from a computer scrap yard-like store.
The Color Slab is in super-mint condition, and am holding on to it for the day I'll find/get more hardware to make it run again (it was my main NeXT box 'til I got my Cube).

Mac OS X Server is a totally different beast. One of the biggest difference is that it's graphic engine is Display PostScript, which is way slower than the new PDF-based engine.
MOSXServer is a direct port of OpenStep. It doesn't even share the same kernel as Mac OS X.
The idea that someone could have the nerve to show up and plead anything other than guilty, or, at most guily with mitigating circumstances, leavesme breathless in these sorts of cases.

The monitor's base had a bunch of connectors (ADB, sound out, and mic in). but, they did not connect using a single cable, but ratter a bunch of them.
My PMac 8600AV/200 also has that setup, onto my Apple Multisinc 17" display. The whole thing requires a thread of cables on the back of the monitor, which is totally different from the ADC connector, and ultimately, from the NeXT cable.
Besides, the NeXT calbe also predates the AV systems.

This has nothing to do with ADC, which is based on a 3 year old IBM technology and was introduced only 6 months ago
Close, but not entirely true.
Actually, ADC is simply Apple's use of prior "technology" (as much as cables can be considered technology) borrowed from NeXT Computer, which we all know has been absorbed by Apple (and Apple by Steve, but that's another story).
My 040 color slab (aka, "NeXT Station Color) has that kind of cable (diffeent pinouts etc, but the end result is the same) that goes from the machine to the sound box (external speaker) where the keyboard monitor etc are connected.
If I had an NeXT Mono monitor (the cool-looking one), then that cable would connect to the monitor, and the keyboard, sound box etc would connect to the monitor, like the current ADC connector.
My black 040 NeXT Cube at home also has the same kind of connector. but for my color (Fimi) monitor to work, it has to be connected onto the NeXT Dimension board. So, one cable goes to my monitor, the other to the sound box where keyboard is connected.
