Is the command diffrent for macOS?

I can't find anything about how to install this on VBox. Does anyone know how to?

Just use the Previous emulator included in the downloads. Instructions for use are included within.

I write the iso as "raw" data, and is not working. (3.3)

Trying to install 3.2 in a VM software (UTM for Mac) and I followed the instructions in Install.txt (changing the settings it said to change to the equivalent settings in UTM) but it keeps saying there are no bootable devices. I've tried with both x86 and x86_64 VMs with the same results in both. Same results with OPENSTEP.

If you want to mount the NeXTSTEP iso files in Linux, use this command: sudo mount -t ufs -o ufstype=nextstep-cd /path/to/nextstep-cd /mount-point

How do I write these discs as "raw" data?

Missileboi

@helloisthispizzahut You don't have to. If you want to mount the CD-ROM image or the boot floppies, use Linux.

SomeGuy

Try using ImgBurn. If it loads the CD image it should be able to write it and you shouldn't have to mess with any other settings. I seem to recall it was other CD burning programs like EZ-CD that had to be told the image was "raw".

How do I install this in 86box for Windows?

I managed to install Nextstep 3.3 on VirtualBox.
To boot you need Nextstep floppyimages (Google finds those). You need boot floppy and driver floppies. And while you're on it, go find Developer and NeXTApps ISO images.

Chipset PIIX3, PS/2 mouse, SoundBlaster 16, BusLogic SCSI drivers work (it does not support IDE disks). You need to give installer correct SCSI driver which is on some of the driver floppies.

@jonirob i need your 86box wisdom on how to emulate this 😭😭

The NEXTSTEP 3.3 HD Image is at least partially corrupt. /NextAdmin/Configure.app will not start. The OS says it is corrupt.
