How funny. I picked up a NeXT '040 cube with Dimension board Sunday.
It also was a N1000, upgraded to a 25mhz '040, a working OD, a
nonfunctional HD, 64mb on the mb and 64mb on the Dimension. The N4000a
monitor is crisp and bright. I'm talking with Rob of Black Hole about a
Hitachi 21" for the Dimension side. The only thing I need is a
monochtrome monitor cable.
The non-functioning hard drive is not a problem. I have a couple of
copies of NS3.3 Dev, a junk box full of 2-4gb SCSI drives and I can set
up a new boot drive from my Turbo Color slab.
