I pulled my old 712 out of the closet and was going to reinstalled nextstep when I realized I've lost my risc media. (Still have the intel/black).
Does anyone have an image of the install cd for HPPA/Sparc?
Also, I was doing a bit of looking around, and there's a very very slim possibility that parisc nextstep may run on a B132-160 or C100-160 system. Both use the lasi chip extensively. Main limitation is the video. I might try it out sometime and report back. If it works that'd make it the fastest non-white system by far.
EDIT: Found it on piratebay.
Another note though, in some of the marketing material I've seen from the era there was mention of parisc servers getting nextstep. I know none of them ever officially did, but has anyone managed to get a lasi equipped server booting nextstep?
and are there any archives for any parisc next software? (oracle, sybase?)
