[comp.sys.next] Upgrading a n old cube, what is the best approach?

Gerben.Wierda@samba.acs.unc.edu (Gerben Wierda) (02/15/91)

Within a few weeks I expect my second-hand cube to arrive here (The
Netherlands). It is a 330MB developer system, with printer and optical.

I want to upgrade to 2.0, use floppies and run comfortably. So what I
want to have is:
	68040 board with 16MB RAM
	Release 2.0
	A 2.88 MB floppy drive
	TeX, Improv, C++, SoftPC

I also want to turn myself into a UUCP node (modem UUCP software). I
need advice on the following subjects:
	What problems can I expect with the previous mentioned setup?
	What is the best floppy drive
	What is the best RAM
	Could I send an optical to someone (preferably in Europe) or to
	NeXT and get release 2.0 installed on it?

Thanks in advance. Answers preferably to Gerben@Rug.Nl
