I have a NeXTstep 3.x CD that says it contains the black and white (NeXT Intel) versions of the OS. So by 'Intel' does
it mean PCs, or specialized
Intel based hardware? I always thought it meant that it would run on 486
and
higher PCs, but I haven't been able to get it to
boot on any, which leads
me
to believe that it isn't for generic Intel
hardware. Or maybe I need a boot
floppy which I don't have.
It runs just fine on Pentium systems, at least with the subset of video
and network cards it supports. Up until the end of 2000, DreamWork's
Animation used a variety of Dell Pentium systems, maybe even some PIIs,
for their pencil test stations. In 2001, we moved to Linux/Intel based
system.
If you need a NEXTSTEP 3.3 boot floppy, I'll mail you an image which you
can use dd or rawrite.exe to put onto a 1.44MB floppy.

Hello.
Is it possible to mail me this boot disk image (for booting NEXTSTEP 3.3 on a
PC).
Thanks.
