[comp.sys.next] Different ROM?

We recently purchased two new cubes.  I have noticed that the displays
on these new cubes dim slightly differently than on the cubes we
purchased last September (they dim or brighten with the absence on a
preceivable flicker).  I actually have one of the new displays
hooked-up to one of the old cubes and it dims the way it always has
(with a bit of a flicker).  This seems to indicate that the new cubes,
not the new displays, have some different hardware.  A different ROM?
(Yes, we did have the ROM's replaced in our old cubes with the upgrade
to 1.0, so that's not the explanation.)  I guess I could eviscerate an
old and new cube to find out, but there are some grad students here
that wouldn't be very happy to find their platforms in pieces.
