Title: [German magazine LOAD #11] Use NeXTstation Mono without monitor
Post by: marvin on Oct 16, 2025, 08:41 PM
The German "Verein zum Erhalt klassischer Computer eV" published their annual club-magazine.
LOAD issue #11 can be downloaded as PDF from

https://www.load-magazin.de/load11/ - please search for "download", as I do not want to share the file's deeplink

Starting with page 50, there is an article about how to use a NeXTstation without monitor.

This seems like a nice, detailed article with details like how to make a cable for serial port communication, although I'm guessing a bit because I don't know German... (less of a problem though than it was in 1992). My first experiences with NeXTs were all headless, albeit over telnet, so I appreciate this style of usage :-)

Some very basic information along these lines can be found in answer 5.39 of the NeXT FAQ (https://www.levenez.com/NeXTSTEP/faq.html).

That seems like a nice magazine. 96 pages! And the fact that it spends two pages on the PERQ earns much respect from me...
