Canon object.station 41
The Canon object.station 41 was the first Intel 486DX4
based personal workstation that was designed to run
NEXTSTEP. Its video performance was dramatically faster
than any other product in its class -- ideal for the
demands
The era's most powerful 486 based solution for NEXTSTEP:
the Canon® object.station 41 personal workstation. It was
built around the 100Mhz Intel 486DX4 processor, upgradeable
to Pentium and beyond. It set new standards for video
performance, driven by a proprietary sub-system that knew
the difference between MS-DOS, Windows and NEXTSTEP.
NEXTSTEP and Insignia’s SoftPC were pre-installed. A SCSI
controller and Ethernet were already on-board. You got four
open expansion slots. There was CD-quality audio, a
built-in microphone, speaker and an optional integrated
CD-ROM player. Even NeXT-specific key caps and keyboard
controls for audio volume and monitor brightness were
provided.
