I don't intend to flame anyone but, you are supposed to send the '030 board back after your upgraded machine is working. You are NOT to keep the '030 board. I for one would like NeXT to give me the choice of upgrading when the next new NeXT comes out but if people like you don't send their boards back what do you think the chances of that are???? I hope NeXT keeps track of who sent their boards back and who didn't. Remember NeXT no longer makes the '030 board and not everyone upgraded to a '040 so the '030 boards that come out of upgraded cubes might be needed for spare parts inventory. > > Thanx a whole bunch...Any answers will be greatly appriciated. > > John Kent -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.
