Since basically all treknology as we know was invented during TNG, there is very little consistent canon information on the 1701. Most people assume that it's basically the same technologies, but more primitive. It usually works.
There is some evidence that matter/anti-matter reactions actually took place inside the nacelles. Or at least some M/AM reaction.

Things I've seen, suggest that the TOS and A have a single coils, the D has double coils in each nacelle and E has triple coils... I'm at work and don't have any references. I'm basing a lot of that on the red lights glowing inside the clear front of the nacelle.

Which weren't even bussard collectors on the E-nil, never mind the fact that the Ent-A never had anything glowing at the front.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

*sigh* Fine, we can quibble about terminology 'til we're green in the face...
The glowy (or not) bits on the front ends of the engines that accrete interstellar matter != the nifty technobabble-forged metal coils in the aft 80% of the engines that actually generate the subspace field.
Better?

The CD-ROM version is zoom-capable, but mine is assembled from many screenshots to get the whole ship at a decent resolution. You're right, there is an awful lot of pointless detail.
