I finally got my 2.0 and 040 upgrade. I decided to use the
Upgrade application and put 2.0 in a few days before the 040 upgrade.
(I did this mainly to preserve my TeX fonts, which I see are included
in the new distribution, ie don't have to be made, so if I did it over
-given that you should back up anyway-I would probably do a BuildDisk.
My thanks to Scott, Mark and others for there advice on this matter.)
Once the 040 board went in I was bitten by the "Alert 90-1" problem(boot
block not correct). Very easy to fix, just a moment of panic.

So remember: 030 -> 2.0 -> 040 -> NeXT Tech. Alert 90-1
