I received this yesterday from my local NeXT rep.  He said to pass it  
along, so here it is:

NeXT Product Announcement
October 20, 1992

25Mhz 68040 Upgrade Circuit Board for NeXTcube is being obsoleted.

As of November 1, 1992, NeXT Computer Inc. is obsoleting the 25Mhz 68040  
Upgrade Circuit Board for the NeXTcube (N7003). 

This product will be taken off the price list as of November 1, but still  
can be ordered for the following 30 days. Thus, as of December 1, 1992,   
the 25Mhz 68040 Upgrade Circuit Board for NeXTcube will no longer be  
available.

NeXT has decided to eliminate the 25Mhz 68040 Upgrade for the NeXTcube  
because 76% of 030 NeXTcube owners have already upgraded their NeXTcube.  
Upgrading a NeXTcube to Turbo performance is possible, but NeXT has not  
formally introduced a NeXTcube Turbo upgrade product.

If you require a NeXTcube Turbo "Upgrade", the 33Mhz NeXTcube Turbo  
circuit board can be purchased via NeXT service. Please read the following  
summary to find out about the details of this process.
