Certainly anyone who knows the answer to these questions is not telling. 
There were a ZILLION posts earlier in the year about the remaining life
in the Cube. My only comments would be these: Any form factor which
NeXT moved to for NeXTbus would be smaller than the Cube form factor.
There is no reason for smaller cards not to fit in the Cube if NeXT
wants them to. As far as the Cube is concerned, the CPU board is just
another board in the backplane. Make your own guesses.
