New toy, HP Apollo 4500, and it's broken...

Ahh... Apollos... I have a DN3500 in the basement(under the table right now since I setup my radio stuff on the workbench). What I consider to be some of the strangest computers I have ever seen(with the exception of some micros[or where they minis?] that were kinda odd, but not like an Apollo). It is ISA, but don't expect PC cards to work in it. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I DO know that most PC ISA cards will not work in an Apollo. As for booting from a SCSI disk, they can. Sort of. Hey, you can boot from a SCSI tape drive... As for HP/UX, I don't know about any of that. It may not run the actual OS, but there are some HP/UX-style programs on my 3500... If only I could figure out that damn machine! It's been driving me crazy ever since I got it... Anyone in the PDX area have a copy of the Domain/OS 10.4.x tapes I could borrow? I haven't heard much about other UNIX ports on an Apollo, but it is being worked on. I have the URL around here somewhere, I just need to dig it out and go see how far they are. Speaking of URL's, here are a few Apollo related sites: http://www.zepa.net/cgi-bin/apollo-cpus.cgi Apollo hardware info http://www.zepa.net/apollo/ I guess this is the root for the above... Lots of info http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/Software/Apollo/perl5/ Perl for Apollo http://apollo.pictinc.co.jp/apollo/english/ I think this is a software archive... http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~nbz32017/Apollo-FAQ.html The Apollo FAQ! -------------------------------------------------------------- | http://members.tripod.com/~jrollins/index.html - Computers | | http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/1681/ - Star Trek | | Orham(a)qth.net list admin KD7BCY | --------------------------------------------------------------
