Got it.   And great to hear you've had good experiences with Previous.

Again, good luck in hunting down your Cube !

I've already set up a 3.3 Turbo Color Nitro Station in Previous (recompiled to
redirect 5 ports including ssh) DEV + y2K and SLiRP, a 4.2 Turbo NeXTDimension
Nitro Cube running 4.2 DEV +y2K, and a VirtualBox Intel 4.2 Build with
BusLogic SCSI, Sound AWE32, DEV and y2K all on my MacBook.  The VirtualBox is
faster than a scalded cat.  But now Ibm pinin for the fjords so to speak.

Fingers crossed for you that you can hunt down your Cube and re-acquire it
in operational state.

My observation has been that NeXT Cube equipment has always been difficult
to acquire, even here in the States.

I know that for many, emulation and virtualization is a distant second to
having actual, operational vintage hardware.  OTOH, if you
reach the state that you are interested in soldiering on in a software only
state, I might suggest you look at "Previous".

Again, wish you the best of luck hunting down your Cube.

Back when I moved to Australia I gave away pretty much 90% of my gear to
good
homes.  I donbt exactly know when this one piece of kit parted company
with
me, however, Ibd like to find and if itbs not being actively used discuss
possibly getting my NeXT cube back.  I have no idea who I sent it to and if
itbs lost to the mists of time so be it.
