      Too bad if we can't keep the '030 board and run it inside the same Cube.
   What I would do  with it is to let it run my printer.   Then, when
   someone does complex graphics  printing on my machine, I wouldn't be
   so slowed down.   Even with the 2.0 I have, which lowered the priority
   of the printing processes, I still suffer when someone on my network
   prints to my machine.

This is all a great idea (keeping the '030 along with the '040), and there's
no really uncircumventable reason not to.  You can conceivably do it.

The main problem with many of the things mentioned on this newsgroup
(running it as a print server, compute server, whatnot) is that you
aren't licensed to run NextStep 2.0 on both machines.  I suppose
you could get a new license, but even then, I'm not sure how that
would work (are you licensed to run it on the machine, or on
the CPUs, or what - I assume that the CPU is the level at which
you license it).

Of course, we _could_ port Reno . . .

Later,
