I just picked up a Domain 3500. Sadly no keyboard, which I believe

proprietary (?) 3W3 video, too, but that one I can figure out.
Use a serial terminal on the serial port. :)
Hmm, I can't remember if that works. I have a feeling that Domain won't boot
without a proper Domain keyboard, at least on the 4xx series machines - maybe
the earlier systems are more forgiving.
It would probably be beneficial to the world at large if someone were to
reverse-engineer the Domain keyboard protocol and come up with a PIC-based
solution that would allow the use of a PC keyboard; Apollo systems seem at
least ten times more available than the Domain keyboards that should go with
them! :-(
Is DomainOS
unobtainable?
No. A few people (me included) have install media for some of the
machines. I have install tapes for later machines.

Mine were kindly sent by a list member, so there's at least another set
floating around, too.
