But the last time I looked inside my friend's (Businessland firesale) cube, there were only two power connectors.

Is this just a `feature' of older cubes or are all NeXT cubes equipped only to power two devices? >-- >"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, > and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." > -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche George
