I have one of the first color printers also and I have noticed also that  
the colors are off.  Actually all I have noticed is that the blues are  
off.  Regular tiffs print out fine.  I am very impressed by the output of  
tiffs.  I think it has to be a bug with the driver or with postscript.  I  
don't think it is the printer.  Hopefully NeXT knows of the problem and  
will fix it.

Inquiring minds will just get to keep on not knowing.

I've been more than happy to share what I've learned about ADB. But I would
like to beta test NS486 and I'm not interested in engaging in a messy battle
about the kind of email I've been getting from next.com.

'Nuff said.

And no, I'm not an offical spokesperson for NeXT.

But again, there are no upgrades for unblessed machines. Getting an unblessed
machine upgraded is alot like stroking a cat's fur backwards. There's alot
of hissing, wiggling, and mental anguish involved.

So if you want to watch NeXT hiss and wiggle please don't tell them I talked
you into it. Please tell them the devil made you do it. :)

But there are things underway that may make NeXT irrelevent in the ADB
upgrade picture. Which will probably make NeXT quite happy. So stay tuned.

From what I have heard about Intel's chips is that in their rush to get them out the door, the chips still have bugs in them.  Does this mean that if NeXT goes with Intel then those persons who buy the first risc machines will be plagued with bugs and constantly having to replace the processors?  Maybe Motorola does deliver the chips later than Intel but they take care of their bugs so we don't have to.

Yeah right!

Sure!

It has only 32000 transistors yet can magically support 4096 bytes of

each bit of cache was magically stored in exactly 1 transistor each
without requiring the other 6 transistors I mentioned earlier....

That gives us an overhead of 32768 bits (transistors) with no gates left

Now you see my fury over the "Acorn 610" fools who keep this stuff rolling!!!

It appears that you obtained far better mileage from the ink cartridges  
than I did.  I managed to get only 50 images ( 8.5 by 11 ) before I ran  
out of black ink.  My test images had nearly equal amounts of cyan, black,  
magenta, and yellow suggesting that the remaining cartridges are  just  
about empty.  

Canon on pg 68 of the printers User Manual gives the following yields :

" Text      700 pages or one million characters (A4/LTR)
  Graphics  400 pages (A4/LTR with color printed at 7.5 % density) "


What does 7.5 % density actually mean ? 

Could others post their results as well.

	The price is $4295 (with the 15" color display and ~250MB hard drive  
display) for any quantity other than a multiple of 12. So, if you buy 15, it 12  
at $3995 and 3 at $4295. In addition, there will be no educational disounting.  
I hope NeXT never sinks to this level of marketing. However, it is a low price  
for the amount of power you get (I've heard around 25 SPEC89s, as compared to  
the $8,000 Turbo Color's paltry 14.6 [and it doesn't have the awful problems  
with disk acess that the NeXT does {did you see UNIX Review's review of the  
Turbo Color?}), though the Solaris user interface is awful (and it only runs  
version 2.1). I'd just like to see NeXT make a decision on its future, so that  
I can decide which system to go with (NeXT, Mac, Sun, IBM, or other).

The article said NetINFO will be ported. That is it (for now at least). Look at  
the direction NeXT has being going internally for the past 8 months. Bob Lawton  
came from Sun. He has worked on Soloris a PC unix. NeXT also recently hired Tom  
Lavelle, from Intel, as VP & secretary. Do you think all these PC people would  
be coming to NeXT if that wasn't going to be a MAIN direction for the company?

I would like to see a 88110 machine from NeXT. In fact if they do have a  
prototype and aren not going to release it, I want to talk to them about  
licensing it from them.

  Dream on.  For my money, there is no way Jobs and crew are going to
  go with a processor from a once-almost-bankrupt now-acquired company 
  which is a subsidiary of an arch-competitor (SGI).  The risc is way to

For noisy drives like Fujitsu or HP you can simply put some rubber material  
between the drive and the mounting plate at all the 4 screws inside your slab.  
This keeps the resonance down and mostly has an amazing effect.

Contact Worswick Industries in San Diego at 619.571.5400. They built our  
cable and I believe kept the proper schematic on file. We tried a few of  
the schematics floating around and found the one that works. If Worswick  
doesn't have it on file, have them call me and I'll locate which one was  
used.

You might also want to try contacting Opcode. They requested the schematic  
from us and showed some interest in either stocking the cable or shipping  
it with new units.

By the way, the cable also works with a MOTU MIDI Time Piece II.

My division has decided to buy a color printer for our network of Suns,
PeeCees and (soon) one NeXT. We want the print to hang off the NeXT, but
here's the problem: the NeXT color printer is o.k. output, we'd prefer
something like the Tek Phase PXIIi plain paper printer (~$9k), BUT
the NeXT has NO PARALLEL PORT!

Just think, a 3-4Meg Postscript file could take 20minute to send over
a serial line - totally unacceptable.

Has anyone found an alternative? Are there 'good' printers that support
SCSI input (many have SCSI for a hard disk, but not input)?

Thanks in advance,

	1)  I believe that the Acorn 610 has a 4k on chip cache. 
	2)  It also has no FPU.
	3)  It sells for <$100 in quantity.

Well I don't claim to have a monopoly on NRW dreams but here's mine!

[Science fiction alert! :-]

Physical Form:

NRW will come in only one form, the brick (at least initially)!

Video:

You buy the same brick for both color and mono.  Mono simply requires a special  
color'ish cable.  Color simply requires more video (and, pragmatically, main)  
memory on the motherboard.

CPU(s):

The base brick comes with one 88110 but is upgradable to the maximum  
configuration of four 88110's.  Each additional CPU requires a new 88110 and  
additional main and shared memory for that CPU.  The high-end configuration is  
nothing more than an upgraded base brick.  Each CPU will have its own main  
memory, but will have a limited amount (megabytes addressable) of shared  
memory.  The CPU's will talk over a high-speed internal messaging switch and  
over shared memory (or does the 88110 have a messaging mechanism already  
built-in?).  The motherboard will be upgradable to 512 MB main memory on-board  
(with all four CPU's in use).

External Connections:

Upgraded:
SCSI-2 bus will be built-in (not just a connector (:-) for peripherals, e.g.,  
printers, hard disks, tape drives, and scanners.  Internal, gigabyte disks will  
be optional.  The dedicated printer port will be dropped in favor of SCSI-2  
(and ethernet) printer connectivity.  The brick will have room for 2 3.5"  
internal hard disks.

"Upgraded":
ADB bus will be built-in (as with the new stations) for  
keyboard/mouse/trackball/pad support.

Upgraded:
2 high-speed (> 100K bits/sec.) serial ports will be built-in

New:
There will be a dedicated ISDN port for ISDN interconnectivity.  This port will  
include the ISDN extender functionality, obviating the need for an ISDN  
extender on the new bricks.

Upgraded:
There will be *no* DSP processor (since the CPU will support DSP functionality  
but in a shared, multitasking way), but there will be the same Digital Signal  
Processing port to support DSP applications and peripherals.

New:
The brick will have 3 (SUN SparcStation) SBus slots for I/O and video cards.   
The main video is built-in, but other video options can be added.  The ethernet  
is also built-in, but additional networking interfaces (e.g., ATM, FDDI, SMDS)  
can be added via the SBus.  Unfortunately, these slots and the ethernet will be  
visible only to the initial CPU (so other CPUs must channel information through  
the initial CPU).

Upgraded:
3.5" floppies will still be supported as now.  Built-in CD-ROM will be an  
option.

That's it!

Did I miss anything?

p.s., I needed that.  All these impending competitor announcements were getting  
depressing!   :-)

I have installed System 3.0 on a new Fujitsu 2624FA (520MB Fast Model) and  
was surprised of slow transfer rates. 

Write: 800 kB/sec *** but read only 400 kB/sec *** 
tested by DrivePerformance, cp and a self made C program.
These results are independent of SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 mode, and 1024 or 512  
byte sectors.

What did I made wrong?
