I've been able to successfully install openstep 4.2 on a dell gx110 by adding a matrox
millennium II, 3C905b-tx for Ethernet and a soundblaster 16 pci. So with those 3 cards
you should be able to install openstep 4.2 on any old pc. It supports up to 512mb ram
and is super super fast. Compiling is crazy fast. So if you want to mess with openstep/
nextstep on the cheap this is the way to do it.
I've also had it running on numerous thinkpads. A 570E 380ed and a 760 Ed.

Nice! Do the OS4.2 tools allow targeting 3.3 m68k ? I could use a good dev
machine for my cube stuff. Though the SS5 I use right now is up there in
speed!

Is there a list somewhere that documents what video cards will work?
I pretty much
always have namebrand NICs (3Com, Intel, etc) on hand, and _really_ avoid non-
soundblaster cards, but I don't have a wide variety of older high-end
video cards.

NeXT (and later Apple) maintained the list in NeXTanswers (TIL) as the OPENSTEP HCL.
From memory, you had Matrox Mil & Mil2, ATI Mach32
& 64 (plus Rage in OPENSTEP and Rage 3D maybe), Stealth64, older QVisions, Number9
GXE64, Imagine128, and some Motion cards, S3 ViRGE, Weitek P9000 and P9100, Tseng ET4000
(plus w32), and a few generic Cirrus cards.
The whole HCL is still online at apple.
