That makes sense. I would have been using the 030 emulation back then as 040 was still broken.
Good to hear that the 040 side is getting more fixes  |

I'd really like to get a hold of all these images!
Why not host on the Internet Archive? They are very happy to have this stuff and it generally stays up unless they receive a takedown request, which is very unlikely here. The upload page is at https://archive.org/upload . |

it looks like somebody has uploaded the whole collection to MEGA:

using Google Chrome to download is highly recommended... _________________ October 12, 1988 Computing Advances To The NeXT Level |

Got it!!
I didn't know there was a NS version 4.0
I do have a bunch of beta and interim versions with one_off patches.. (I'll upload when I have all the gear in one place)
thanks for the tip
Last time I remember people were still bitchin' about not paying for the OS, etc.. I guess things have changed (for better in this case)
Not sure what to do from now if I wanted to boot off another drive.. (my Unix skills are very-very dusty. Downside from pushing paper all day).

@mikeboss you can donate the images to WinWorld.

Is that NS 4 the NeXTStep 4.0 beta?
When I try to boot it, it asks for a User ID and password. What is it set to? "me" doesn't work.
Any chance of someone posting the original installation media for each? (I did find the NS 2.2, 3.2, and 3.0 images) |

when I installed my NS 4.0 beta, the current usres were kept, so try to login with your normal account
if doesnt work, try ot find the way to reset the password (in this forum)
good luck |

What "normal account"?
I tried to reset the password as per the instruction on the forum, but the passwd command tells me that the users "root" and "me" do not exists. |

Do you have sector dumps of original pre-3.0 OD media in pristine form - never written to? |

Are those images still available somewhere - I can't seem to access them in the DropBox? |

I still have the images and I just uploaded them to my webserver. I'll send you an e-mail with the link in a few minutes. here's the procedure I used to restore the image to an MO:

EDIT: according to my e-mail history you already got the images on may 14th in 2014..???? _________________ October 12, 1988 Computing Advances To The NeXT Level |

Hi mikeboss,
do you mind saying how you dd'd the full images?
How did you capture the boot blocks?
I tried doing just a straight dd of /dev/sd0a, and this didn't
work for me (obviously - can't w/o boot blks...)
The size looks just a tad bit shorter compared to the 2.01G for your images.
Thanks for any tips.
