There was an external SCSI CD-ROM drive later on.

Actually, the original NeXT computer was designed before CD-ROM was
standardized. The so-called Yellow Book that contained the CD-ROM standards was
published in 1988, the same year that the NeXT was introduced. Instead, the
original NeXT computer came with a magneto-optical disc drive that used
Well, Huh!
Guess my memory isn't all that reliable. I had it in my head that the
NeXT only had a CDROM drive for external media.
Thanks for this, Robert.

As one of the writers who wrote the documentation for that generation of
FM (Chris Despopoulos was part of that crew), I recall that most of the
documentation was included on the delivery media (for NeXT, that would
have been a CD). Unfortunately, I don't have (that I know of), a copy

I wrote software reviews for Nextworld back in those days, and I don't
recall any printed documentation. The documentation for the operating
system, FrameMaker, etc. was all on disk. If you rummage around in the
FrameMaker directories, you should find it somewhere.
Next's own docs are online:
There is a copy of FM4 Windows (sealed in the box) on ebay for $15.99 (or best
offer); I'd offer them $5.
Also, there is a copy of The Frame Handbook by Linda Branagan (circa 1994) for
less than $11 w/free shipping.
I have seen the Branagan book in some college libraries. My recollection is
Since NeXTSTEP OS was based on UNIX, I think the Unix FM manual instructions
probably cover most of the functioning of the FM program.
One thing to watch out for in such an old version of FrameMaker is the 'grey
box' problem that used to crop up where graphics would suddenly become grey
boxes.
Is he asking for documentation on the Nextstation itself, or for *FrameMaker
for* the Nextstation?
