My understanding is that the NeXTdimension board supports other monitors besides NeXT's Sony color monitor. So if you had 19" monitor you wanted to use, you could. In order to support other displays, NeXT kept the keyboard, sound, etc. inputs off the wires. This is why a Sound Box is needed; otherwise NeXT could have just brought everything over the monitor cable as before. David Finkelstein Academic Information Resources Stanford University
