  NeXT Says,

  Q:   Will the 25Mhz color systems be able to use the new  
  keyboard/mouse?
  A:   There are no plans to support ADB keyboards for non-Turbo color
  systems until sometime next year.


***********

  Well, perhaps this time some of us will NOT be left out.  All next has
to do is make a soundbox kit for the oldr Color and Mono systems and
then we too can take advantage of the ADB.  Having seen the layout of
the new keyboard all I can say is I like my origonal layout alot better!
 But then again, I have never used the new one, it may be great, I
dunno.  If NeXT is really on the ball they could make a soundbox with
connectors for both the ADB and the old keyboards on it.  I for one
would love to take advantage of the ADB.  Mabey someone will port some
of the microprose games over ( or anything else you like ).

  I just hope NeXT comes through and makes a sound box ADB upgrade klit
for owners of the old style computers, both mono and color.


  I don't suppose anyone at NeXT would care to comment on this?
