Hmm... I never played on a DN10000. Which cpu chip did these things use? All the Apollos I used (up to DN4000) were 68K-based. I thought that HP bought Apollo because they were competing for exactly the same niche: technical workstations aimed at CAD/CAE with a lot of emphasis in the EE arena: almost all of the important EE packages ran on Apollo; EMTP, MatrixX, Matlab, even Mentor Graphics? I wasn't into chip design, but I know people used the Apollos for that. Plus, they shared the same cpu family at the time: 68K . I thought this would have made integration of Apollo into hp easier. Finally, I think that HPPA predates the buyout; It still had not made it into the 700-series machines, but there were many HPPA 800s already. Am I wrong? Carlos.
