    Site for NeXTStep software?

    I saw this on Reddit () and realize I'm not really utilizing my NeXTStation with a clean install of NeXTStep. 1. I didn't realize there was a Mac emulator for NeXTStep. 2. Is there a resource, similar to macintoshgarden or macintoshrepository for NeXTStep? I've got a SCSI2SD in there and...

    Custom resolutions on PowerMac G3/G4 in OS X / 9

    I have a collection of PowerMacs (a couple G3 B&W, and a handful of different types of G4s). I'm trying to set them up with VGA out to a KVM, with the video going to a custom LCD I had from another project that will slide out from under the desk. This will allow me to display my vintage Macs...
