If anyone want a low end UNIX box, they can go and get a 386/486 PC and run
SCO or Interactive UNIX on it. But let's NOT compromise my lovely NeXT!!!

By producing a low RAM, slow processor, non-Ethernet NeXT computer, you will
be lowering the lowest common denominator for NeXT computers! PCs and
(to a certain degree) Macs software have been plagued by hardware with low
common denominators, lets spare our NeXT from that.

The NeXTstation is a very reasonably priced entry-level system. It has and will
hold its own in its target market.
