Hi I was just giving a copy (legal copy by the way) and can not figure out how to install it using Parallels 4.0.

I got a USB 3 1/2 Drive for the three floppies. When I put the disk in the drive without Parallels is running I get a box saying it doesn't know kind of disk it is. Sure that's fine, one of my options is to ignore. Which I pick real floppy and I have the disk in the drive. When I start a window pops up and it says:


Unable to connect Floppy Disk 1.

A file or device required for the operation of Floppy Disk 1 does not exist or is used by another process, or you have no permission to access it. The virtual machine will continue running, but the device will be disconnected.

==
I tried to make an image of the disk using disk utility, the image isn't the right image for Parallels.

I'm sure there's away to install Open Step for INTEL in a virtual machine because I've seen screen shots. So can anyone out there help this old fool that wants to play with a defunk of OS.

Why are I am doing this? Because I want to see what it was like and to see how much of the NeXT OS got used to make Mac OS X.
