Well, I lied and ordered it on Thursday and got it today.  The bad news is that  
the OD filters are not made for the NeXT.  Mass Micro must do things a little  
different because the filters are about half the size of the NeXT filters.  The  
only (slim) possibility is that I can use two filters in place of the one NeXT  
one.

My question is, has anyone, or does anyone have a NeXT OD head cleaning  
cartridge?  How do you use one?  I could follow the instructions that come with  
the cartridge, but the configuration of the DataPak MO are different, like  
"Insert a disk cartridge while pressing the eject button.  A disk cartridge  
will pop out immediately."  Is the NeXT manual eject button the same thing?  I  
don't want to experiment to find out.

I would be much happier with the NeXT instructions.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
