the next risc workstation, or nrw, was an unreleased computer workstation designed by next during the early 1990s as a successor to the m68k-based nextcube and nextstation. initially the nrw was to be based on the motorola 88110 microprocessor, but due to a lack of confidence in motorola's commitment to the 88k architecture, it was later redesigned around dual powerpc 601s. pre-production motherboards and enclosures were produced, but the nrw did not enter production before next exited the hardware market in 1993.
