NeXT made two different types of keybaord/mouse connections. ADB and
'non-ADB' (whatever that may be... all of mine are ADB.) You can see
some barebones specs at <http://www.deepspacetech.com/> where you can
still but yourself a sleek black box. The Official brochure from NeXT
with the specs makes no mention of the bus the keyboard uses
<http://www.deepspacetech.com/Info/NeXT_Brochures/NeXTstationColor.pdf
> and since the keyboard/mouse don't actually plug into the computer
(they plung into the sound box/monitor connection) the computer's
specs do not ever list it.
Go figure.

Too bad. All of mine work, but only one gets any use... the rest have
had their drives and RAM lifted from them.
