There is at least one difference that I am aware of. Apple added an interupt for each card to the NuBus. The reason that this was done was so that simple cards, not capable of becoming bus master, can generate an interupt to the host indicating a need for service. This eleminates the need for a card to become bus master in order to initiate a data transfer over the NuBus. Fairly reasonable, in my opinion. Certainly Apple is pushing to make their implementation of NuBus a standard.
