I would reallly appreaciate any help you can give me.
My first question:
What's the best option for virtualization for OPENSTEP 4.2 (on any platform)?
Second:
What works in VMware? (i.e. Networking, color, mouse, etc.)
Third
Could someone help me install OPENSTEP in VMware? (Yes I have read the guide but it doesn't seem to work.)
Fourth:
How do you go about transfering the drivers that are available on the Net into OPENSTEP running in VMware? (this is obviously assumign networking does NOT work.)
Thanks for all your help!
P.S. I am trying to compile information so I can write a current guide on this.
P.P.S If anyone knows anything Rhapsody DR2 in VMware?
P.P.P.S By the way, I am running VMware Workstation 5.5 in Windows SP2 with OPENSTEP 4.2 and hopefully Rhapsody DR2!

Make an ISO-image with the files and attach it as a cd-rom to the VM.

Seems to be a tie between VMWare and Parallels. I've heard that qemu works, and it's free - but unlike the others it's a full emulator not just a virtualizer, so it'll be slow. (Unless you use kqemu under Linux, which is not as fast as VMWare but still a *lot* faster).

It takes a little jiggery-pokery, but AFAIK everything does. Some drivers are available at
http://mitglied.lycos.de/Morgon_de (site in German, links obvious anyway).

Gotta go through and do this myself, but once I do I can let you know what worked, anyway.

Wish I still had my copy to test this with, alas, I had it in my car when my car was stolen. Curses.
There are links to a rather good guide for installing OpenStep in VMWare in this (
http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=905#905) post :-)
It also includes the installation of the additional drivers (display, networking, mouse, sound) :-)
Another guide can be found at
http://kordtokrax.de/nsinvm/how-to.html the guide is in german but has many screenshots so it should be possible to use even without understanding german.

Does sound work yet?
EDIT:
Also what's better to use NeXTStep 3.3 or OPENSTEP 4.2?
IIRC, sound takes a bit of jiggery-pokery, but I think that VMware emulates an ES1371, for which there is a driver. (AKA Sound Blaster PCI128)
For x86, I'd recommend OPENSTEP unless you have some specific reason to prefer NS 3.3. This also goes for SPARC, IMHO.
ok well could u please tell me how to install it in VMware Workstation 6 because I went to both of those guides and here were the problems:
One was for NeXTStep 3.3 in VMware Workstation 5
The other was for OPENSTEP 4.2 and NeXTStep 3.3 in VMware Server
I have:
OPENSTEP 4.2 and VMware Workstation 6
Sorry for being such an idiot but I tried them and they wouldn't work...
I kept getting kernel panics
Ack, alright... I'm using OS 4.2 with VMware 5.5, so what I come up with may or may not work.
I've also tried installing Openstep 4.2 in VMWare Workstation 5.5 and get kernel panics. NeXTSTEP 3.3 installs fine, though. Don't know what the dfference is.
Hi to all of you. There is no way to express my feelings for this forum. Thank you guys for this fantastic forum.
I have a MacBookPro and I would like to install Open step 4.2 on the parallels SW. There is a way for some one to tell me step by step how to do it?
Thanks.
