You'll also likely want to use the TOPS scripts to migrate from NeXTSTEP 3.3 and prior APIs to the modern APIS. In particular, it isn't hard to create a TOPS script to migrate between Display PostScript and NSBezier*. That was the bulk of the migration required beyond the default set of NX* -> NS* migration (pre- Foundation to post-Foundation). Though, there are a number of functional APIs that could also be migrated.

I still have access to some of the early Rhapsody CDs, but i lack Mac OS releases prior to 10.4.9 (switched lately to Mac). Is there any document describing which releases can be obtained from Apple and wich of them are really required for such a migration?

Small Dog and various other resellers typically have older versions of Mac OS X (and Macintosh hardware) available at reasonable prices. I would check with said source.

Is there any chance to install those releases on a Parallels or VMware virtual machine ?

Mac OS X, itself, has never supported a VM style installation, as far as I know. Thus, you might be out of luck on that front.

Especially if you considere that all Mac OS X versions prior to 10.4.x are PPC only.
