The Pyro accelerator board increases the speed of a NeXTcube by replacing the standard 25MHz processor with a 50MHz one.

To the right are the interfaces, to the left the system bus. In the enlarged version of the image, most chips and connectors are described. Through our global innovation platform that includes Sway Ventures(VC) & Altriarch (private equity), we innovate, invest in, accelerate, and scale frontier tech companies. We accomplish this by developing Centers of Excellence (COE) around key verticals that are ripe for innovation. Each COE consists of best in class entrepreneurs, investment partners, industry experts, and government leaders. When it comes to shaping the future, one must first take a close look at the present. These days, many verticals such as healthcare and education may still represent people of color inequitably. This has inspired founders from underrepresented groups to build solutions that better reflect the communities they serve. Notice that the architecture of this computer (68030, 68882 & DSP 56001) is the same setup used in the Atari Falcon which was presented (a bit late) in 1992! software and applications, and all of the users data. Just pop-out the disk and take it home, to school, or anywhere there is a NeXT computer system -

Called NeXTSTEP, it was built upon the Mach UNIX kernel, an already existing, text-based, multitasking operating system, known for being very powerful but difficult to use. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.Discover the complete interview here: https://lnkd.in/gFnsrPcC #hbcu #accelerator #entrepreneurship #startup #diversity #tech #business #founders #spotlight #hbcupride #hbcualumni Morehouse College Hampton University NeXT systems were used by professors for scientific and engineering applications, and for developing newspaper layouts using News. The games Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, and Quake were developed by iD Software on NeXT machines. Other games based on the Doom engine, such as Heretic and Hexen: Beyond Heretic by Raven Software, as well as Strife by Rogue Entertainment, were also developed on NeXT hardware using iD's tools. NeXT released much of the NeXTSTEP system as a programming environment standard called OpenStep. It marketed OPENSTEP for Mach, its own OpenStep implementation, for several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). To date, more than 350 students and alumni from over 50 HBCUs have enrolled in the Nex Cubed program and participated in industry webinars and virtual ideation sessions. The events are led by corporate executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top-tier investors across FinTech, EdTech, Digital Health, and PropTech - key social determinants in desperate need of systemic reform that technology can help enable.

NeXT (the company) was founded by Steve Jobs in 1985, who, after losing an internal power-struggle, quit his job at Apple Computer, As a Founding Partner, Franklin Templeton will help inform the FinTech program offerings as well as provide hands-on support to the program members through its employees who will serve as mentors and advisors. Though not very profitable, the company had a wide-ranging impact on the computer industry. Object-oriented programming and graphical user interfaces became more common after the 1988 release of the NeXTcube and NeXTSTEP. The technologically successful platform was often held as the trendsetter when other companies started to emulate the success of NeXT's object-oriented system. Jobs returned to Apple as a consultant, then later appointed as interim CEO. In 2000, Jobs took the CEO position as a permanent assignment, holding the position until his resignation on August 24, 2011; Jobs died six weeks later on October 5, 2011 from complications related to a relapsed pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour.incorporate proprietary information. NeXT agreed to not compete with Apple products, and Apple had the right to inspect any NeXT prototype, Over the last four years, Nex Cubed has established itself as a leader in early-stage innovation and acceleration, creating a global ecosystem of 3 industry-specific COEs, 77 investments, 45 partners, 50 strategic advisors, 50 investor advisors, and over 140 mentors. To date, the Nex Cubed portfolio companies have an aggregate value of half a billion dollars, and nearly 60% of the startups are led by female and minority founders.

The NeXT system didn't make it to market by Spring of 1987 as planned - it took two additional years - and in October of 1988 the NeXT system was With nearly 60% of Nex Cubed's portfolio of companies being led by female and minority founders, it is no secret that diversity and inclusion have been at the heart of its mission since inception. However, with the series of devastating racial injustice events last summer, Nex Cubed doubled down on its diversity and inclusion efforts by launching its HBCU Founder's Program with the goal of inspiring students and recent alumni at HBCUs in their pursuit of entrepreneurship.Interested or know someone who might be a great fit?

It was based in Redwood City, California, and developed and manufactured a series of computer workstations intended for the higher-education and business markets. The first “NeXT Computer” was based on the 25 MHz Motorola 68030 central processing unit (CPU) with between 8 and 64 MB of random-access memory (RAM), a 256 MB magneto-optical (MO) drive, a 40 MB (swap-only), 330 MB, or 660 MB hard disk drive, 10BASE2 Ethernet, NuBus, and a 17 inch MegaPixel grayscale display measuring 1120 by 832 pixels. The magneto-optical (MO) drive manufactured by Canon Inc. was the primary mass storage device. NeXT’s innovative object-oriented NeXTSTEP operating system and development environment (Interface Builder) were highly influential. It was sold with a lot of great programs and a very powerful 400 dpi laser printer. Some technical features were a bit strange (grayscale display, no floppy drive, no hard disk), but were modified in the next generation with the NeXT Station and the NeXT Cube 040.

NeXT's operating system was ported to Macintosh hardware, combining it with the legacy application layer of Mac OS, a combination that would yield Mac OS X.NeXT released the NeXTdimension for the NeXTcube, a circuit board based on an Intel i860 processor, which offers 32-bit PostScript color display and video-sampling features.
