I’ve expanded Infinite Mac to cover NeXT operating systems, with the help of the Previous emulator. See https://infinitemac.org/?filter=next for all releases between 1988 and 1997, and https://blog.persistent.info/2024/03/infinite-mac-nextstep.html for tidbits about the porting work and other site updates. And to keep things in the #MARCHintosh spirit, you can use the Daydream/Darkmatter emulator to run System 7 on the emulated NeXT hardware and so have a replica of one of the more esoteric combos of the early 90s.

@mihaip@hachyderm.io Awesome! One idea to make exporting data more natural would be to have some form of virtual printer, i.e. you print and the browser download some image file.

@mihaip@hachyderm.io I love this, thank you so much for doing this. I tried out 1.0a and played around. The NeXT came with such amazing contents and apps out of the box, like Shakespeare and Mathematica. It really was my unobtainable dream computer when it came out and it still holds much appeal.

@mihaip@hachyderm.io this is excellent. i've enjoyed previous but it's tricky to set up, and nextstep deserves to be experienced by so many more people than it has been
