A local owner of a '030 cube, who has not used the cube since the 1.0x days, just bought the CD-ROM and Drive upgrade to 3.0. He can't read the CD-ROM, of course. But he was also told his '030 could NOT run 3.0, and that the cube could NOT be upgraded to an '040, either 25 or 33 Mhz. This does not ring true. I've run 3.0 on an '030, and although it needs more than 16 Meg to run well enough, it does run. I am not aware of any problems upgrading a '89 cube to an '040. The monitor has the mike built in, so it's not as old as is possible. Any input on these claims? He is hesitant to try to find an '040 board based only on my opinion. And I figure I can upgrade him (he has the CD-ROM) by net-booting him on my network.
