OK. Here we go. Just when I thought I had managed to escape the nasty world of those "laughable lovable PeeCee's", I've got my first question about NeXTSTEP 486 hardware compatibility from one of the staff here. Has anyone heard the word on Local Bus graphics card support for NS486? >Adapters designed for EISA based PC's are available (such as Compaq QVision >1024/E and ATI Graphics Ultra Pro) or being developed, these are currently >being evaluated for performance and may provide an easy upgrade for existing >EISA PC's. Is all I have from the NS486 fact sheet that was released in October. Specifically, I want to know about the "Viper" local bus card. It is supposed to be comparable to (but faster than) the ATI GUP. The person who asked the question has located a 486-DX2 66 local bus machine with a Viper card, 200MB IDE drive, 8MB and a 17inch 1280-1024 monitor for $2995. Slap some more RAM and another drive in the box and you'd have a color machine for about $4000. He's wanting to buy this now (for tax reasons) specifically to run NeXTSTEP. Its funny how times change. If anyone has seen the "NeXTSTEP 486 Hardware Compatibility Guide" please drop me a line. Thanks!
