I've got a specific DejaNews post bookmarked, I find it easier to deal with
than the Spec site. Here are links to both (watch out for line wrapping):

Odd that you should mention that. I was just thinking yesterday that it might
be neat to get OpenStep 4.2 up and running on a HD for the SS10 I just got.
I'm not sure what the hardware requirements are, but I think the Developer
CD I've got has all four platforms on it.
