I saw some folks got postcards from NeXTConnection a while back. But not me, not yet. contact NeXT at 800 848 6398. I think you were supposed to receive a card which you would send to NeXTconnection. They are the ones who will be shipping you the PLI drive. As an aside, I really cannot fathom how NeXT conducts business. As compared to, say, the government? If NeXT says (in October) that they are going to give me a free drive, then why wasn't it delivered with the 040 board? because the drives are not NeXT drives and NeXT is supporting NeXTconnection by running the orders through them, would be my guess. If SR2.0 is buggy, why charge us for no-new-features (or maybe even-less- features, if you use PostScript) bug-fixing SR2.1? Fyi, 95% of the bug-fixes in 2.1 do not involve bugs at all. The update incorporates stuff for the color machines, all of which are shipping with version 2.1 installed. So unless your system falls into the subset of systems needing the few minor bug fixes that got thrown into 2.1, you don't need to update. Why is NeXT so QUIET? why do you say NeXT is so quiet? I've seen press releases about all this stuff.
