could someone kindly give us a break down of their earlier models.
I've just become the proud owner of a 3500/3550 mobo. 25mhz 68030, math chip or memory
manageer right next to it (ok it's probably a coprocessor, barely looked at the
thing). Big black piece of custom logic, otherwse all ttl and simple programmable logic. I
have a picture if anyone wants to help me identify it (and what memory it needs, what ISA
cards it can use, p/s, etc).

Yeah, put me down :)
Wonderful machines, even the later 4xx systems - just
don't bother
with the 7xx ones as they're pure HP
piggy-backing
on the Apollo name
(nice in their own right, but incapable of
running
Domain)
I'm still keeping an eye out for a dn10k. I've
never used one, but a
multi-CPU setup using such an oddball CPU really
appeals - I like
weird stuff :-)
I wouldn't mind a DN10K either.... physically large is
the only
drawback :-) (that and prob eats a good deal of power).
I would love to find a DN3XX. Wouldn't mind a 3500
either.
We had these in the CIS program at college (first DN3XX
then
some DN3000 and DN3500, and one DN10K). The DN10K was
unique enough it rarely got used for anything except to
play
an awesome remake of the Star Wars arcade game (or so my
memory cells remember it as such (awesome)).
Sadly... I don't own any Apollo gear. I do have a set
of OS tapes
around somewhere, although who knows if they are good
anymore.
(don't even know if I could find them anymore :-().
