I have received two NeXTstations with 400 M drives and 8MB RAM. One arrived in April, one yestereday. I'm curious why one machine has in the Preferences Panel (startup preferences) the options that allow the computer to be turned on at a specified time. The machine that was received in April does not have those options. ---Craig Woods

Unfortunately, there's no retrofit for the older machine, since the change is to a surface-mount component--you'd need a new motherboard. The software detects which hardware is available and adjusts accordingly. -=EPS=-
