I am not trying to be confusing. That's legitimately the unit I have. On
the front it says, HP Apollo with a sticker "Model 715t/33." On the back
side it says A1630 425t. It has an Domain keyboard port and an HP-HIL port.
So what do I have here?
I think that only opening it up will tell you that for sure.
Here's the fronts from a couple of TNMoC's Apollo 400's:

... is the case-front decal on your machine as recessed as on those? It
looks in your photo as though it perhaps isn't - which might mean that
someone has stuck a 715t decal over the top (from memory, they're certainly
about the same size). Of course if that's true, *why* is an interesting
question :-)
(The blue LED on the TNMoC system is an oddity, incidentally - IIRC the 400
was circa 1990, which seems a little early to see one as a general-purpose
indicator on a computer. I think the other 400 in the pair had a more
conventional green or amber one. I'm surprised that someone went to the
effort to replace it, though, and it's not as though LEDs fail often and
force replacement!)

HP Apollo 715t/33 (425t)
Please don't
confuse. The linked picture shows a series 400 machine.
The 715 is an entirely different line of machines. The 700-series is
PA-RISC based, where the 400-series is m68k based. You can run the
original 4.4BSD-Unix releases from the CSRG on a 425t also. (In HP-UX
mode with HIL peripherals.) The Domain/OS vs. HPsUX "switch" is a
setting in the boot monitor, no hardware switch.
