After performing the '040 hardware upgrade, I have some more
questions.  Most of which should be fairly straightforward.

1.  There are two more connectors on the '040 motherboard than
the old one.  Are these for the NeXTDimension card?  

2.  There was a socket for a large chip on the '030 motherboard
which appears to filled in the '040 motherboard.  What is this?

3.  What is the new "RJ45-like" connector on the'040 motherboard for?

4.  After switching the direction of the fan and placing the OD
filter in the box, my optical disk now regularly spins down after
activity.  In the FAQ, this is supposed to be due to heating.
Are the old fans up to snuff?  The optical filter looks like it does
a very good job of insulating the OD.  Where can I get a better
fan to cool the optical drive?  Is there a perferred method for
cleaning these drives?

Thanks.
