- Interesting thought - I haven't seen any mention of it either.
- Obviously, you would need someplace to plug it in! NeXT (or
- someone) would have to design a card (probably EISA) that would give
- you the connector on your PC.
- I believe I did read that the NCP (Color Printer) will work OK with
- 486 - it is a SCSI device, which most NS 486 systems will support.
- (You'll need a SCSI controller to hook up your CD-ROM so that you
- can load it!)

- (Disclaimer: I don't have any inside info on this, I'm just as
- clueless as the rest of the netnews reading population)
