Neat! I just have an LC III, SE and Powerbook 1400 running at the moment. Always wanted to find a NeXT...

That's genius, thanks for the tip.

I had a next slab in the 00s but I had to get rid of it because of space. Recently, I had a Pentium 3 random machine and I finally managed to install OpenStep 4.2 on it. The trick is to find the absolute latest patch to have the VESA driver so you can have color.

If you are curious about NeXT, I highly recommend finding a random intel pc from the 90s and installing the intel NeXTStep versions or OpenStep.

NeXTSTEP is also really great on PA-RISC, if you want an oddball combination.

Lol there's also the Canon ObjectStation if you want to get really obscure
