TOPIC

    This document describes in general terms the types of PC-compatible hardware supported by NeXTSTEP Release 3.3. This document also provides lists of specific drivers available for NeXTSTEP. For more detail on a driver, click on the driver name.

    NOTE: Apple Enterprise Software has suspended on-going development of new drivers for the NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP product lines. Where possible, we will be updating current drivers for minor product revisions. These drivers will be made available in the TIL.

    If you have specific requirements for drivers for hardware not currently supported, contact your AES sales representative for a quote for custom development work.

DISCUSSION

    OVERVIEW


    This guide is divided into six sections:

    General System Requirements

    Display Options

    Networking Options

    SCSI Options

    Sound Options

    System Options

    GENERAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


    CPU

    486, Pentium, or Pentium, Pro based PC compatible computer. NeXTSTEP requires a floating-point coprocessor. Systems using processors without a built-in floating-point coprocessor require an add-on floating-point coprocessor, or upgrade to a 486, Pentium or Pentium Pro with built-in floating-point support.

    EXPANSION BUS

    ISA, EISA, VL-Bus or PCI expansion bus.

    AVAILABLE HARD DISK SPACE

    NEXTSTEP supports multiple partitioned hard disks, allowing the user to install and boot several operating systems from the same local hard disk. Larger local disks are recommended for stand-alone systems or for systems with a local non-NEXTSTEP partition.

    User Environment:120 MB partition minimum, 200 MB recommended for stand-alone systems.

    User + Developer: Environments: 330 MB partition minimum, 400 MB recommended.

    RAM REQUIREMENTS

    RAM requirements vary depending upon your selection of graphics adapter and imaging model.

    32-bit color: 24 MB RAM Minimum, 32 MB RAM Recommended

    16-bit color: 16 MB RAM Minimum, 24 MB RAM Recommended

    8-bit color/grayscale: 12 MB RAM Minimum, 16 MB RAM Recommended

    2-bit grayscale: 8 MB RAM Minimum, 12 MB RAM Recommended

    GRAPHICS ADAPTERS

    See the "Display Options" section in this guide for details on graphics support.

    DISK INTERFACES

    IDE and several SCSI hard disk interfaces are supported.

    POINTING DEVICES

    Microsoft(tm) and Logitech(tm) compatible PS/2(tm) and serial mice. Logitech bus mouse.

    PRINTERS

    Any PostScript printer connected via a serial port, parallel port or network including the NeXT Color Printer (connected via a SCSI port). Apple Computer recommends color PostScript printers with PostScript Level II for proper color support.

    NETWORKING

    Several Ethernet and Token Ring networking adapters are supported. A networking adapter is optional.

    SOUND

    NEXTSTEP can support certain PC sound cards for both playback and recording. A sound card is optional.
