Hardware / Re: Rare NeXT hardware
Last post by stepleton - Today at 03:46 AMIt was available for sale, and it is basically like the N4000A except for (a) the stand, (b) ADB, and (c) a better, longer-lasting CRT. It is indeed a mono monitor.
I had a friend who sought one out because he preferred the new CRT, but he swapped in an older N4000/N4000A metal stand because he liked its look better than the frogfoot.

Last post by Archer - Today at 03:46 AMQuote from: jeffburg on Today at 03:19 AMNeXT produced this monitor for sale? or are they just prototypes? I have never seen it before. Is it Mono like the original one?
Yes, it was the last generation of B&W megapixels. I would assume not many went out as they were released along with the turbo cubes. I prefer the original base personally, but these came with a longer life crt which makes them sought after.

Last post by ZombiePhysicist - Nov 24, 2025, 02:30 PMVery cool. I prefer the simplicity of the original stand but sounds like a serious hardware upgrade.

Last post by krazycat - Nov 24, 2025, 01:51 PMThis is the last model produced, and it only came with an ADB connector. I have one in my collection; the CRT quality is better than the early N4000 monitors with the heavy iron bases.

Hardware / Rare NeXT hardware
Last post by ZombiePhysicist - Nov 24, 2025, 01:44 PMThought this could be a fun thread.
To start things off, I've never seen this monitor base before:

Last post by wmlive - Nov 23, 2025, 07:01 PMWindow Maker Live based on Debian/Trixie 13.2 has been released!
For the first time, it is offered for all three architectures i386, amd64, and also arm64.
Find all further details at https://wmlive.sourceforge.net
Since the fundraiser at ko-fi.com/wmlive was quite a deception, i've decided to make only the i386 ISO freely available for everybody, and offer the amd64 and arm64 variants as encrypted 7z archives requiring a password to unpack. Before this password will be publicly disclosed at the end of the year, for the time being, only former and future donators will be provided with it.
Also fellow open source developers will be freely given this password upon request.
As an added bonus, any of our forum members who is interested in more than just the i386 variant of wmlive, please contact me privately to receive your free password.
