[SunRescue] Re: OT NeXT question

I have a 68040 Cube complete (and a spare Cube) and a Color Turbo station. I
actually like driving the Cube more, for some reason I can't put my finger
on. 

A NeXTDimension board would be nice, though <grin>.

And NeXTStep/OpenStep on an SS10 or 20 is pretty slick, too.

Welcome, Mike... welcome to the secret society of people who have been
mezmerized already... you will buy... you will buy....

.... or convince your wife to get you one for Christmas....

I've got a NeXTstation Color Turbo 33Mhz, and now a 25Mhz Cube, and DAMN
are they nice.  The Cube, even though slower in Mhz, runs faster.  Most
likely due to the drive not being 420M. :)

Now, all I need is a functioning CD-ROM drive.  Found out the Sun
bootable one we bought from eBay is borked.  Spits out SCSI errors like
crazy.  Doesn't work on SGI, Sun, or NeXT.  Urgh.  Buyer beware, I
suppose.
