You and me both! I've never got wind of there being one in the UK at all - and
as for finding one with OS media... (I seem to remember the DN10k's used
proprietary CPUs*, so stock 68k OS tapes don't work)
*were these developed in-house, or sourced from elsewhere? Google doesn't seem
to confirm either way, and there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the
machines in general.
From memory they'd support up to 8 processors.
As a big fan of Apollos I'd love to find one too, but don't hold out much hope!
No idea why they're so rare and forgotten about; far as I'm aware the
architecture and performance were sound enough - possibly just too expensive?
