I have just posted a PostScript file of the NeXTSTEP 486 pre-release
hardware compatibility guide just release by NeXT to potential
beta-testers.

It lives in /pub/next/submissions/NS486.Compatibility.Guide.ps.Z

The message accompanying the guide stated that beta testers should have
their CD-ROM in their hands by 8 March 1993.

All the arguments are over, NS486 is here, and beta testing when NeXT said
it would 8-)

I can confirm that '486 beta-testing is finally upon us. Thank goodness I
got this job as a NeXT sales engineer just in time to hit my company up
for a Compaq 486DX2/66 with a QVision card.

So they give themselves 2 months to fix any bugs assuming they meet the 8th deadline?

Not now. It shows up in /pub/next/00ls-lR.txt, but as of 12:50 pm EDT
Feb 10 it's not in /pub/next/submissions.

Is it copyrighted to prevent this sort of distribution?

Someone please email/NeXTMAIL me their copy (rtfd preferred).

Thanks.

OK, I run a 486 and I want to know if my machine will run NS 486.

Would someone PLEASE post a machine independent ASCII file of the compatibility guide?
