This site seems to be out of date: the current development site seems to be https://sourceforge.net/projects/previous/ while https://bytecellar.com/2018/04/25/bbsing-on-a-virtual-next-c... seems to have some relevant links too.

How does the experience of running NeXTStep or OpenStep in Previous compare to that of running x86 OpenStep or NeXTStep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz2nPJGx4Qg on x86 hardware, on an old x86 box as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz2nPJGx4Qg or on a modern x86 system?



It is similar if you can get it to run on x86, but NextStep/OpenStep on Intel was notoriously picky about hardware, supporting only a tiny number of video and networking cards. Even virtualization doesn't work that well -- I tried VirtualBox for OpenStep X86 a few years ago and never got the networking to work, and was stuck with subpar VESA graphics.
