Well, I haven't been running plan 9 for the past several months, because 
I no longer wanted to use up 3 PC's for it at the house...  However, my 
company is now ditching some old NeXT hardware, so I'm looking at using 
that......

They're all 040's.... some plain 68040-25 "NeXTstations" mainly, and one 
"Color", one "Turbo", and one "Color Turbo".  I'm pretty sure the Turbos 
mean 68040-33Mhz.

>>From what I understand from "The Various Ports", any of these should work 
for terminals.. (I would probably take home the Color and Color Turbo for 
terminals and get monitors for them... I've found the NeXT hardware faqs 
and some NeXT resale shops to help with that)...

Question is, can I use a NeXTstation Turbo as a CPU server?  If I 
remember right, the cpu server kernel and terminal kernel are only 
slightly different.. so I would think yes... but nowhere in the manuals 
is there mention of a "9nextstationcpu" kernel.
