- dragonwriter 3y agoThe NeXTcube and NeXTstation did not come in diskless configs. Diskless may have been an option when NeXT software was detached from NeXT hardware, though.
- detourdog 3y agoI understand that couldn't be purchased without a disk but I kind of remembering booting cubes and slabs from a network file. This was probably 5 years after dropping hardware.
- icedchai 3y agoI did find mention of it in the docs! Perhaps it was supported, they just never shipped systems in that configuration.
- detourdog 3y agoIt’s also part of the directions for running multiple motherboards in a single cube. https://wiki.preterhuman.net/NeXTcube_running_68030_and_68040_boards https://wiki.preterhuman.net/NeXTcube_running_68030_and_6804...
