I checked my serials,

Cube 1 ABA0004493 This one is the NeXTcube, no OD, with floppy

Cube 2 AAK0002023 This one is '040 with OD, no floppy

Cube 3 AAK0001503 This one is the '030, dead OD, no floppy

I have an extra '040 motherboard. I've thought of doing the dual mb
mod mentioned on usenet and having the '030 and '040 in Cube 3.

I'll have to check on cube 4 next week when UPS delivers it.
