We've got an old, old '20 cube running (cough) NS 1.0 and want to upgrade it a bit. The problem is that I called up the people at NeXT and they told me that I can do one of two things; 1: Upgrade to the new turbo 33MHz '40 board, add a new CD-ROM (the optical won't work with NS 3.0), an internal floppy, and some memory. That'll let us use NS 3.0. Or... 2: Upgrade to the new turbo 33MHz '40 board and get NS 2.2. The optical will still work and the price is definately lower. The questions I have is "what do you think about these two setups?" and "is there a better solution?" I've got a limited budget so the price does make a difference (ie. the cheaper the solution the better), but I can always push for more funds. I'd prefer it if you could email your responses, but post if you feel you must. If there is an outcry (yeah, right), I'll post the collected answers. Thanks a ton! -Shelley Louie slouie@ocf.berkeley.edu -or- shelley@lurnix.com Digital is illusion. Life is analog.
