- johndoe0815 4y agoPlan 9 for NeXT works well in Previous with a 9p server running on the emulation host or a different machine on the net. Previous support for NeXTstep includes an NFS and NetInfo server in Previous itself. The equivalent emulation of the 9p protocol is not yet available, however. Also note that the most recent version of Plan 9 for NeXT is the second edition (http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/plan9/history/plan9-2e.tar.bz2 http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/plan9/history/plan9-2e.tar.bz2). Updating the code to use the new graphics system introduced in the 3rd edition is on my to-do list... Shameless plug - the 9th International Workshop on Plan 9 takes place in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, this April: http://iwp9.org http://iwp9.org Btw., NetBSD is also supported in Previous now, but there has been a regression after NetBSD 5.2.3 that we have only been able to identify and fix recently (it seems that there are not a lot of NeXT NetBSD users left...) thanks to the great support by Izumi Tsutsui. So NetBSD 9.3 currently needs a number of patches as discussed on the NetBSD/next68k mailing list (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-next68k/ http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-next68k/), but 5.2.3 should work out of the box.
