Can you write NeXT optical disks from another platform?
Surprisingly, I think the 17" monitors are heavier than the 21". I have a
21" that isn't too bad to pick up (and I'm a pretty small guy), but is
lighter than my DEC VR297-DA 17" Trinitron.

My cube
doesn't have a floppy. I've been considering looking for
another faceplate (for a floppy cube), removing the OD and just haveing
a floppy. I never use the floppy on my slab, I usually use the zip in
the external housing.
I wouldn't be suprised if Rob had a faceplate or two stashed
away somewhere. I can see where you might not feel the need to get a
floppy for it though since it'd be easy enough for you to do the OS
installs using your slab. That's really the only thing I use my
floppy for. I'm going to take an Apple CD300 case and paint it and
the faceplate of a NEC CDR-1410A black to match the NeXT. It'll then
be close in both style and color to the original NeXT CD-ROM but
faster. I did notice
Rob had the N4000a's. I'm considering getting on as a
spare. Rob doesn't like to ship the 21" monitors, but my wife said she
would go on a road trip to Boulder to pick one up. It's only about
12-13 hours away from Dallas.
My 17" color monitor is really heavy...I'd hate to think what
the 21" NeXT monitors must weigh. I'm going to drop him a note and
see how dim the ones that he has are. Jeff
