A NeXT announcement states:

I notice how NeXTcube non-turbo '040 machines are conviently left off the list  
of both being a part of the "entire product family" and being able to use ADB  
products.  Is there going to be a method by which '040 NeXTcube owners with  
original MegaPixel monitors and 2nd generation keyboards (not the ones shipped  
with the first NeXTs in existence, and not the most recent ADB keyboards, the  
ones that have the UNIX keys in a bad place for UNIX people) can use this ADB  
connectivity?
