Several of the Powerbook models have the abillity to appeare as
a Mac Disk drive (100, 160, 180 and Duos spring to mind).  You
should be able to plug one of those units into a power'd down
NeXT.  The Powerbook will show up as a Mac hard drive in the 
workspace when you power up and log back in.  I know of at
least one person that does this on a regular basis.

I don't think the 140, or 170 has this capabillity.
