OPENSTEP 4.2 / NeXT on old IBM Aptiva with PIII i found in my garage. It was nearly to be trashed but then - i knew for what it will be used! I cleaned it up, painted the case with gray granuled / textured paint, bought Matrox Millenium II pci, and the 3Com ether link from eBay for few bucks, and voila. I have now an really enjoying OPENSTEP / NeXT realestate here!
Sorry if the video is a bit flanky but i filmed it with an iPhone in left hand while typing with right one :]
I installed OPENSTEP 4.2 user CD, OPENSTEP 4.2 developer CD, and started to have fun with some development also ! all the way NSObject :]
BTW: If someone has WebObjects 3.5 developer CD, is the one i'm missing to have the whole installation setup up. Please contact me, to see if we can deal something with it .
So the system specifics if somebody interested:
