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 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.

How funny. I picked up a NeXT '040 cube with
Dimension board Sunday.
It also was a N1000, upgraded to a 25mhz '040, a working OD, a
nonfunctional HD, 64mb on the mb and 64mb on the Dimension. The N4000a
monitor is crisp and bright. I'm talking with Rob of Black Hole about a
Hitachi 21" for the Dimension side. The only thing I need is a
monochtrome monitor cable.
Cool...I'd love to eventually find a Dimension board...then I
could use my 17" Megapixel Color monitor with it vice the dim N4000a.
I did notice that Rob had N4000a's at $60. The killer there would be
the shipping. Thankfully mine came with the long mono cable. I take
it yours doesn't have a floppy drive?
The non-functioning hard drive is not a problem.
I have a couple of
copies of NS3.3 Dev, a junk box full of 2-4gb SCSI drives and I can set
up a new boot drive from my Turbo Color slab.
That'd be easy enough to do. I'll likely swap a larger drive
into this one as well and put NS 3.3 on it. The previous owner had
named this one 'Precious' so that's what you see when you're logged
on.
