I checked my serials,
Cube 1 ABA0004493 This one is the NeXTcube, no OD, with floppy
Cube 2 AAK0002023 This one is '040 with OD, no floppy
Cube 3 AAK0001503 This one is the '030, dead OD, no floppy
I have an extra '040 motherboard. I've thought of doing the dual mb
mod mentioned on usenet and having the '030 and '040 in Cube 3.
I'll have to check on cube 4 next week when UPS delivers it.

soon follow. I've been wanting a NeXT Cube for over 10 years and
finally picked one up a few months ago. Now, thanks to Doc's help,
I've just aquired a second. This one is a much earlier machine than
my first one, with a serial# less than 5000 and unlike my first it
still retains it's '030 configuration and dual-OD faceplate. Though
missing the OD, which I do have a replacement for, it also has the
40MB swap disk that NeXT started installing in Nov. 1989. It also has
the later drive tower with the 4 sets of mounting holes.
In comparison, my other Cube, which also started life as an '030
machine, has a serial# of 16818 and had been upgraded to an '040 with
the addition of the internal floppy and faceplate (though still
retaining the OD), as well as being further upgraded with the
NeXTdimension board.
