Q: Is there a way to physically secure a NeXT system in a public environment?
A: A company named Qualtec offers security hardware for the NeXT Systems called the NeXT UNI-KIT, which secures the monitor and main unit to a work area. It's a cable-based system, with a 10' cable to secure the main unit to the monitor. Additional "unihousings" (security housings) prevent the back of the main unit from being removed, and also provide an anchor point for a 3' cable that attaches to an adhesive/screw-down plate with a lock.
It's all black. Retail cost for the NeXTcube version is $59.95. The version for the NeXTstation retails at $39.95. Qualtec can provide multiple locks with identical keys for university sites and the like.
The hardware is available from Inmac (a national outlet for general computer supplies). Other outlets are available; contact Qualtec in Fremont, CA for more information: 415 490-8911. Fax (415)490-8471.
