On this thread, I would like to make a proposal to NeXT.

Many of us cube owners, don't have access to floppy drives although of course 
we still have fully functional OD's.  Now most of us have old versions of the
rom monitor and would probably have a bit of difficulty upgrading since we
need that little boot program to enable us to upgrade.

Would NeXT allow somebody , or even do it themselves, to put this program
on the archives where we can get at it via modem.

Thank you.
