I'm really interested in putting Openstep 4.2 user/dev to my iMac running snow leopard via parallels.

I have most of the original media (Openstep 4.2 CD's and Floppy's). But I'm not sure how mordern hardware and os can read them...

So the 1st thing is the installation source. Maybe convert old source to usb will help and reusable (for my macbook air)?

I have win2k with WebObjects 451 via parallels 6 running. Is parallels 6 good enough for openstep 4.2?

How to let it use disk space more then 2Gb? Is it possible to have network drive for it?

Is there a web browser for openstep? I remember ominiweb 12years ago..

I'm really dummy in system admin things. Please advise

Thanks a lot

After some search. I got this one within this site:

http://www.nextcomputers.org/docs/FAQ-OpenStepOnEmulators.pdf

I need to read carefully and start from there

I believe Omniweb Is the best choice.

I'm interested in porting net-surfer, they're starting working on HTML5, but there is'nt any javascript support at this time

One member of the forum,t-rexky, is actually doing an incredible work to get more recent compiler, and that may really help to try to port another webbrowser.

It's definitely doable: I'm running OS 4.2 in Parallels 8. Follow that tutorial and see my post (http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2992) for networking.
