  This is a good thought.  If is is true that the basic 105Meg slab owners
are licensed to own/use/have the rest of the software that has been stipped
from the system, is is really cheaper to by a 3rd party external.  I read
from other messages that the 340Meg option is ~$1600.   I will have
ethernet access to NeXT machines that will have the full distribution so
it would be east to get the software.  How much would it really cost to
get an external 235Meg of disk to match the 340Meg option?  Is it cheaper?
Can anyone list vendors and approximate prices?
