5.39 How to convert a Turbo system to use ADB?

If ADB equipment are used with older NeXT systems they won't work properly. Here are the ADB requirements:

• A Turbo computer.
• CPU eprom version 74.
• New revision computer to soundbox/monitor cable.

  The part number is molded at both ends of the connector:

  Cable NEW OLD (Non ADB) NeXTcube 4534 150 NeXTstation 4535 1532 NeXTstation color 4536 2286

• New revision monitor which uses a vertical scan rate of 72hz instead of 68hz, except on NeXTdimension systems color monitor stays 68hz.
  Monitor NEW (72hz) OLD (68hz) 17" mono ACX (N4000b) AAA (N4000a \& N4000) 17" color ADF (N4006) ABG (N4001) 21" color ADB (N4005a) ABH (N4005)

• ADB soundbox for color systems. S/N prefix ADD instead of ABN.

• (weiter mit 5.40 68030 board in the same NeXTcube as a 68040 board?)
