Crum) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: NeXTdimension status Message-ID: Date: 28 May 91 20:58:20 GMT Sender: news@usc Distribution: comp Organization: University of Southern California Lines: 19 Nntp-Posting-Host: alicudi.usc.edu Originator: crum@alicudi.usc.edu According to NeXT representatives at (800)848-6398, the NeXTdimension board is shipping. New (not already outstanding) orders for NeXTdimension boards are expected to be filled in four weeks. That, along with the first-come- first-serve policy, implies that outstanding orders will also be filled in four weeks. The status is the same for N7014-08 and N7014-16. Also of note is that the NeXTdimension board is shipping without JPEG compression hardware, but that the price of the NeXTdimension board includes (officially) JPEG hardware to be shipped in the future when it is ready. The cable for connecting a NeXTdimension board to a NeXT Color MegaPixel Display (either the N4001 17" or the N4005 21") is included with the NeXTdimension Starting Point Kit (N8527). But, a person at 800-848-6398 told me that NeXT might include the cable alone (at no charge?) with orders not including the NeXTdimension Starting Point Kit. I already bought one extra starting point kit -- I wonder if I should get another one, just for fun because they're priced so reasonably :-) Gary
