I tried it because I was curious, and thought it was neat. But I stopped
using it and went back to a PC terminal because the NeXT was just too
slow. You can get a 1u PC put together these days which would blow away
the nextstation in terms of performance (graphics and processor).
In any case, it was the version 2 release which could boot plan 9 on a
nextstation. I got it working on an old nextstation a friend scavanged,
and it didn't require very much work. A bit of playing with the boot
parameters, and I wouldn't have had to do that if I could have gotten
ahold of an older tftp setup.
