- microwavecamera 9y agoI found a hardware compatibility list. Looks like it would run on most old 486/Pentium/PentiumPro PCs if it has supported video and network cards. Even supports some 3D video cards like the ATI 3D Pro Turbo. http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/hardware/os4x_compatibility/openstep_compatibility_1.html http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/hardware/os4x_co...
- jonhendry18 9y agoI ran it on an AMD k6-3-based PC I put together back in the day. It wasn't all that particular about hardware. The very early releases of NeXTStep on Intel had limited hardware support, but by NS 3.3 it was pretty easy to configure a PC for it. Building a PC for it now using modern hardware, might be difficult again. I don't know.
