How early? :)
This one dates from 1982 and covers the really ancient 300-era stuff:

And this one's 1986 and just goes into 3000 territory:

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,
I think that'll be a FPU (MC68881?)
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).
I don't know of any docs online, but maybe Simon can check the archives at
Bletchley for you - I think we might have some 3xxx-series docs, and possibly
some sort of hardware config guide.
There's an overview of the 3000 at:
http://www.1000bit.it/ad/bro/apollo/apollo3000m.pdf
... I really don't recall if the 3500 was significantly different internally,
or if it was just essentially a faster ('030 vs. '020) CPU.
(if none of those direct links work, just go to 1000bit.com and do a search
for Apollo under the brochures section - hats off to Mark Brennan for
uploading them all)
cheers
