A friend of me find a buch of NeXT's in a junkie yard of computers here in Mexico, he give one to antoher friend who now give me it =) I am very happy to have one of these, i an really want to try NetBSD on it =P. So, i have to couple of cuestions to start: I have only the Monitor and the Case (witout cables and Hard Disk) and other friend have an Apple LC II (contemporany of the NeXT) and i have seen that in some pages who sell NeXT hardware they said that sell keyboards/mouse with ADB (Apple Desktop Bus or something like that) that work with NeXT's, anyone have used a keyboard from an apple in the NeXT ?? If the keyboard of the apple dont work i will try to use it without monitor and use it with a serial console cable to install NetBSD, the NeXT BIOS automaticaly opens a consle on the serial ??? or what i have to do ?. The Harddisk that i will use that one from the Apple LC II (a SCSI disk very similar to the ones that i have seen in photographs of the NeXT). I dont have yet the hardware from the Apple, but i would be very glad if someone tells me that is going to work, or not. Sorry for the Bad English and Thanks a lot.
