I know exactly how you feel. I've had a
half-operational DN5500 for a year
and a half until just a month ago I got a DN4000 with enough spare parts
(and OS tapes!) to fix it. I've got 10.3, 104, and the 10.4.1 update for
Motorola and 10.4.P for Prism (DN10000) in the Seattle area. As you might
imagine, I'm a bit covetous of my OS tapes, especially as I've not been
able to archive them adequately yet.
One of these days I have to start working on getting a DN10000 up and
running. I do need disks (stolen from the machine), as well as a tube and
a keyboard.
Did all of the Apollos use a standard tube, or did they differ per family?
What about the keyboards? The 10000s were considerably different from the
Motorola based machines, so I have my doubts...
When all is up and working, I am going to have to pit the Apollo against
the Iris in a graphics contest, and see who wins. Too bad there are no
versions of Doom for either.
