Suzuka Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 well I found this which must mean theres a patch for Parallels to get colors with rhapsody. anyone have any clues or leads on where to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerX Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The color shots are of OPENSTEP 4.2 with Patch 4 applied... not Rhapsody. Parallels uses a VESA based graphics card, there are no drivers for that for Rhapsody (which came out in 1998). Patch 4 for OPENSTEP 4.2 (which includes the Y2K patch) included VESA drivers. And no, the drivers from OPENSTEP don't work with Rhapsody (its already been tried by a number of people). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrix Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ahh NEXT/OPENSTEP was a real beauty of a system. I remember seeing a few NeXTSTATIONS on campus before they got chucked away in favor of Windows NT 4.0 (and they never got back to me on my offers to buy one!). sighhh Well I got an old P133 motherboard here, I'm sure I can somehow cobble up something in the next 11 days before my departure and try out OPENSTEP again.. if I'm not too lazy or freaked out.
