	In the beginning of the project it was a fork of [[OPENSTEP]]. As far as I've been able to track down there have been 3 public releases of this OPENSTEP Darwin. And there have been several more public releases, up to and including OS X Server 1.0 which was based on the OPENSTEP kernel. Further complicating things, Darwin 0.1 reports itself as Rhapsody 5.3, while Darwin 0.2 and 0.3 report themselves as Darwin 0.2/0.3		In the beginning of the project it was a fork of [[OPENSTEP]].

 Darwin 0.x can be built using a Rhapsody/OS X Server 1.0 binary system as a starting point.  However when it comes to emulation and physical hardware the EIDE driver has a problem losing interrupts. It is not only a problem with Darwin/Rhapsody but on physical machines as well. This poses a challenge to 'white box' builders to this day. However the emulator Qemu 0.90 can run Rhapsody albeit with a busmouse driver.

 After the release of OS X Server 1.0, it was clear at this point that OS X was doomed, as 3rd party software vendors expressed no interest in porting applications to OPENSTEP/Cocoa API's.  Instead Apple would have to go and create the Carbon framework, allowing traditional MacOS applications to use a subset of the toolbox API, and then be ported to OS X.  Along the way the older OPENSTEP kernel was dropped in favor of a newer kernel based on Mach 3.0 and a C++ driver framework.

 === Versioning confusion ===
 As mentioned over on [http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=7625 this thread at nextcomputers.org], that although there was a released memo explaining the logic behind the version number changes so that way Darwin would match up to the build number of XNU, it lead to great confusion.  However this letter at least sets it to the original intent.

 I didn't have to do anything special and I've written about it [https://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2016/09/20/darwin-1-4-1-installs-on-qemu-2-7/ here].

 Darwin 8.0.1 to run under [[Qemu]] 0.13.0.  As far as I know 1.4.1, has some kind of CPU issue, and 6.0.1 and 7.0.1 all have ACPI issues.
 Installation is pretty simple, a config like this is more then enough to get going:
