	1.  What is the speed of the SIMMS in the 030 and 040 NeXT cube?
	    I need suggestions on obtaining SIMMS to expand my 030 cube, but
	    I want to make sure that I will be able to use them on the 040
	    board!

	2.  Since the NeXT power supply adjusts to different voltages, would
	    I need to connect a surge protector, or does it supply its own
	    surge protection?

	3.  Is the Lotus Improv' promotion available to buyers who just got
	    030 NeXT cubes, or do I have to upgrade to the 040?

	4.  Where can I find an implementation of a 9600 baud modem using
	    the DSP chip?  Does it exist?

	5.  Where can I obtain optical floppies?  What do they cost?

	6.  I understand there was a problem with the optical drive getting
	    too much dust from the internal fan, what resulted from this?
	    What do I need to clean an optical drive?  How often should I
	    clean it?  If I leave an optical floppy inserted in the drive,
	    will it help reduce the dust problem?

	Any help will be appreciated ...
