I have an '040 cube at home with a Mac IIx.  Otherwise, same
configuration.

I thought this was stupid as well--but then you have to do the
same thing with Mathematica.  Re: Mathematica, I don't use it so
it just sits unregistered.

Strange, they called me back and gave me the key within 6 hours
or so.  No questions asked.

Are you sure?  Nothing was said about the key I received to be
temporary.  How did you pay for the product?  I used plastic.

I bought the product around a week ago.  The box came with v1.07
for NS2.1 and v1.09 for NS3.0.  When did you purchase the
product?  I'm running NS2.1 and plan on upgrading to V3 when 3.1
comes out.

The product works well.  I'm able to print directly from my Mac
to my NeXT laser printer and I've offloaded a lot of files stored
on Macintosh diskettes to 1 optical disk.  Using the optical is
waaay slow, though.  What's a nice feature is that I'm allowed to
print from my NeXT to printers connected to my Mac--when 1200dpi
laser printers are a commodity, I'll be using that feature a
lot...unless NeXT comes out with one first to replace the 400dpi
laser.  Too bad I can't see Macintosh volumes from my NeXT or
it'll be perfect, but I don't have that need at this point.

One additional item: the scripts that start ushare has a lot of
sleeps and it would take forever for the daemons to be launched.
I commented them out and now it loads a lot faster and everything
still works...

Howdy,
Is anyone in a position to compare the Hayes Optima 144 with the ZyTEL
U-1496?  Has any one used the Hayes Optima 144?  With SLIP?  I'm thinking
about replacing my 9600 baud modem and I'd like to get something that is
capable of many features not implemented yet by the University of Arizona
(V.42/V.42bis, MNP 5 error-correction & compression, etc.) Fax ability would
be nice; but not necessary.  I've seen some nice comments about the ZyTEL.
How does it compare, etc.?

You mentioned something about the original warning.  What warning?  BTW:  I
did the same thing w/the plank.  I thought that it was easier to drag a plank
than to lift the cube.

We have been using drives from Pinnacle Micro, and they work perfectly fine.  The new ones are 19ms access time.  Can't ask for much more than that.

Hi,
  I'm interested in NeXT configurations, but things seem to be about to change
from the old product line to some new one.  In any case, I have a few questions
such as :

	Is the NeXT station color with 16 megs ram and 400 meg HD big enough
	to hold the extended version of NeXTstep 3.0 and still develop with?

	What is the future of the slab and cube machines?  Which is more
	likely to feature an upgrade path?  How soon will there be a change?

	What are some sample prices (educational) for the station outlined
	above?

   If you could take some time to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I can't tell you about that particular brand, but I've tried several brands of
transparancies on my NeXT Laser without a single problem.  My guess is that
since the NeXT Laser is essentially the same printer as the Apple Laser Writers,
virtually any transparancy film marked "for laser printers" will work.

They all seemed to have a white strip on the side that other, non-laser printer,
transparancies did not . . . could this be for the rollers to grip them by?

    Any computer is suited for BBS programs, but the NeXT is definitely
    *NOT* suited for arbitrary (unknown) user accounts, it is simply too
    easy to crash the machine.

    * No quotas
    * If you fill up the disk and the NeXT runs out of swap it crashes
      hard.
    * No resource limits (NeXT ignores everything but the stack size limit)
    * No process/thread limits

I need to buy a machine quick but I need a little help....

1) How big is 3.0 and 3.0 extended in megabytes (in order to 
know what the smallest drive I could get is and still have 
space, in megabytes please)? i.e. how much space left with
3.0 on a 105? or 3.0 ext. on a 200?

2) How slow is a Color stations with 8 or 12 megs of RAM? I would
upgrade in a couple of months but I want to try to buy a color with
a small hard drive (but big enough for ext) and as little RAM as
possible b/c you can easily buy more RAM....

I don't know, but I just wanted to toss in a comment about
how *great* the new monitor is in comparison to the
previous piece of junk NeXT was peddling.  It's now as good
as it should have been in the first place!  Top notch!  Love

Anything that produces a magnetic field will cause distortion of a CRT display.   
Hold a bar magnet, a blow dryer, or another CRT next to your monitor, and you  
will see some distortion of the display.  What's happening is the magnetic  
fields that control the deflection in each of the two monitors are interfering  
with each other.  So case b) above isn't strange at all.

The only solution is to move the monitors farther apart.

Hi all,
  I've seen this problem on the net before, but do not remember
the solution and I have to help a friend out today (SAT DEC 19).

He just got a brand new turbo cube dimension system.  He booted it
up and 3.0 was pre-installed.  He then used the ND upgrade diskette
and installed the packages on it.  Afterwards he powered down his 
machine and tried to re power it up it would die.

It gives the following error messeges when booting in the rom
monitor:
loginwindow 131   cannot find window server port


Is there a quick fix, copying a couple of files to the right place
from the 3.0 CD ROM?

Or must I rebuild the whole HD?

At any rate I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

   Maintenance tips for the floppy would be appreciated as well, although I've

   floppy drive to accelerate head wear...

I have been using an original NeXTCube with optical happily for four
years with essentially no problems.  (I did have one optical [of 5]
that refused to mount -- kept respinning.  I reformatted it and still
use it without any more problems.)  I think my secret is that I followed
the original warning to keep the cube off the carpet.  Since day 1,
my machine has been on a plank cut slightly larger than the Cube's
footprint.  The only maintenance done re the optical was that I had
small computer support vacuum and clean the drive with the NeXT
(I assume) supplied kit after I had the single problem with an
optical disk.

By the way, the machine has been running essentially
continuously (I'm on my second monitor -- the first one dimmed out).

  The music kit was unbundled and given to CCRMA (the Center for Computer

who has been doing lots of good things with it. Including making

I have the opportunity to purchase a Wangtek 5150 ES tape drive
for a good price.   I would like to connect the unit to my 25MHz
monostation.  Can anyone relate their experiences to me on this one?
Any problems with NeXT hardware/software?  Is it plug and play with
NeXT's archiving utilities?

Thanks,
Stuart
