[stuff deleted to keep within context]

In your case I "think" you only need the new sound box and keyboard.  Some  
computers need also an EPROM that needs to be replaced.  In some computers  
like the original monochrome NeXTstations you need the EPROM, new monitor  
that has is ADB compatible.  The conector from the Megapixel Display to  
the computer has NOT changed only the interface from the keyboard to the  
monitor or in the case of the NeXTstation color the interface from the  
keyboard to the sound box which is now ADB.  That's why in the color  
NeXTstations you need to replace only the sound box and not the megapixel  
display.

There are rumors because of the article in NeXTWORLD Magazine (I guess)  
that the motherboard had to be replaced but it's only the EPROM the one  
that has to be replaced and you may not even need it if you already have  
the new one.  The "new" ADB Monochrome Megapixel display is suppossed to  
be available some time "NeXT year".

WARNING: We have not done any upgrades here yet, so I have not confirmed  
that all this is true.
