Hi All,
Back after a long time away from this list... I happen to have a small herd
of Apollo DN3500/4500 boxen which i pulled out the other day to see if they
still run.
I can't help with the date issue, but just wanted to say how nice it is to
hear that someone out there has rescued some Apollo stuff - there was
someone in one of the other vintage groups I'm in a couple of years back
who'd found one of their early machines (dn400 I believe), but that's the
only time I think I've seen mention of them in a very long time.
I had access to a lab of 9000/425 machines in the mid 90s and that's what
got me hooked, then when I was at TNMoC prior to my moving over to the US
we had some 2500/3000/4000 systems that I looked at, but sadly those had
spent some time in damp conditions and weren't ever likely to work again -
the corrosion was just too bad.
