Interesting thought - I haven't seen any mention of it either.
Obviously, you would need someplace to plug it in!  NeXT (or
someone) would have to design a card (probably EISA) that would give
you the connector on your PC.
I believe I did read that the NCP (Color Printer) will work OK with
486 - it is a SCSI device, which most NS 486 systems will support.
(You'll need a SCSI controller to hook up your CD-ROM so that you
can load it!)

(Disclaimer: I don't have any inside info on this, I'm just as
clueless as the rest of the netnews reading population)
