I did post something along those lines a couple of weeks ago.  Unfortunately,
that is probably not going to happen.  A person from NeXT sent me email 
about what I wanted to do.  The person from NeXT was very nice about the
whole thing, and while I can still share it with a few people, he/she did
not want me to make it available via anon ftp.  He/she gave me permission
to post the email he/she sent me.  If enough people would be interested,
I could post this email to this group.  

BTW, I ordered the upgrade at least one-two weeks ago, but haven't gotten it
yet.

(I'm getting on a soapbox here...)
I tend to order my NeXT products through my old school, rather then from my
current school.  The people at my old school bend over backwards to serve
the customer.  When I ordered my 105 NeXT, I only had to put down a $250
deposit rather then the full amount.  A week later when I decided I should 
have bought a 200Mb Slab, the person at my old school changed my order without
any fuss.  When I just ordered the Tech Doc, he said that I could pay for
it when it came in.  It is this type of service that makes a customer loyal
to a particular store.
