Hello,

It's been a while since I last checked the group and I'm surprised of the
thread growth.

Then, first, thanks for all your care.

The ISO download solution will probably be unnecessary for me because some
very helpfull guy directly contacted me and offered some original
installation media for a symbolic price (thousand thanks to him). But that's
seems to still be a pending question for some other NeXT owners that
periodicaly seem to seek it.

That would probably work fine on any Unix like OS.

This would work quite easily, Internet access has become quite inexpensive
in western europe and transatlantic links have been greatly improved those 2
last years.

This would not be required, I think.

My feeling is since Apple offered freely theese software to Black hardware
owners, this who probably quite close to legality to let owners download it.
But as some have highlighten, that's still a risk.

Thanks again.
