I've never seen a PSU serial cutoff, just the Cube serial itself.
I've looked at all of my cubes (I have 4 here at the moment, 2 are
Dimensions) but they all have been changed to the later type with
floppy, hard drive and optical drive mounting holes. I'm running all of
mine dual heads without soundboxes, so it's never been an issue for me.

From what I
understand, there is a range of PSUs which fall in a certain
set of serial numbers
which are incompatible with a ND color board.
Does anyone know which specific PSUs are capable of powering the ND
board correctly?
The only information I'm able to find is the serial #s of the compatible
systems themselves, not the serial #s of the PSU.
Can anyone provide some clarifican on this subject?
If your customer has a NeXTcube with a serial number lower than
AAK0016370, the system will only run with both monochrome display and a
color display connected. Should a customer want to stop using the
MegaPixel monochrome display and replace
it with a NeXT Sound Box to use only a color display, the customer must
replace the power supply in the NeXTcube by purchasing the Power Supply
Upgrade Kit.

I have two NeXT monitors, one color and one mono which are running off
the 040 Cube with the ND. I'd like to be able to use the mono 17" on my
030 and run the color 17" off the 040 ND Cube with a sound box alone.
I'm not _entirely_ sure that it's an issue with PSU or with the board
itself, but I suspect the PSU may be the culprit.
I remember reading somewhere that early Cubes required some type of
dummy load to run headless. I think this is the same issue as with the
ND/soundbox setup.
