I emerge from my introverted pit to show the newest addition to the collection!

Nextstep Rhapsody shenanigans!

Nextstep Openstep 4.2
Rhapsody DR2

melodymayhem,

Hmmm, not much difference in bootloaders on the surface

melodymayhem,

The startup screens between builds are pretty different! I kind of wish Apple had gone with the DR1 look for OS X Server.

melodymayhem,

Installations are pretty similar across builds, though DR2 adds an additional page Mach terminal stage of the setup.

melodymayhem,

There is not too much difference between the driver config, save DR1.

melodymayhem,

Those OOBEs! 4.2 and DR1 are based on NeXTStep, but DR2 is a port of the assistant utility from MacOS 8.5.

kodiak noises intensify

melodymayhem,

Huh, there is not too much difference in the pre-install environment between Mac OS X Public Beta Developer Preview 3 and 4

melodymayhem,

Rhapsody assistant in aqua is one helluva sight to behold!

To Be or not to Be!

melodymayhem,

Welp, BeOS via x86 emulation in virtualpc was a dud. Freezes after first boot. Haiku wouldn't even boot.

melodymayhem,

At least it's playing well with my Pentium MMX machine! I wonder what shenanigans I can have with this?

melodymayhem,

BeOS 5 doesn't like my Thinkpad's Savage IX, but haiku has no problem with it!

It's pretty bonkers when you think about it--in the late 90s, Apple was rewriting their apps in Yellow Box (now Coaco) not just for the Macintosh, but the PC too! It's no surprise that Apple killed Rhapsody for PC in the end, but it's surprising they developed it as much as they did!

melodymayhem,

Find by Content--a derivative of Sherlock 1--running on PC. Sherlock was one of the big headliners for the release of MacOS 8.5

melodymayhem,

Stickies, a classic MacOS app from the days of System 7.5, running in yellow box on a PC and Mac.

melodymayhem,

QuickTime was one of Apple's crown jewels in the 90s, yet, here is the same binary running on both Mac and PC.

Rhapsody in stereo!
