NeXTStep is notorious for system requirements. I don't know
anything about the specifics of running NS on a Thinkpad, but I have
looked into running it on my desktop.
8MB is probably not enough RAM to do anything useful, but the
system will boot in 2-bit mono. As for 340MB of disk space, that'll be
enough for the base setup, but the developer's edition requires 400MB.
The system would have to be installed off of CD-ROM, so you'd also have
to have a compatible drive and adaptor. Seeing as how NS is so
expensive, personally I'd want be able to run it quite well. An 8/340
config won't. If you want more help, I might be of limited assistance,
but you should also try the comp.sys.next.{hardware|advocacy|misc}
newsgroup hierarchy. Good luck, and if you do try, let me know how it goes.
