PA-Risc machines don't have the apollo label

Yes, they do. (Many of the earlier workstations do, up to and including from the 715 era.)
Some of the confusion about this machine surely stems from the fact that
HP
offered an official hardware upgrade for the 400
chassis to PA-RISC. It
consisted
of a normal 700-series mainboard with some mechanical
bits changed for
fit.
Then the machine became like what you see here. The
DOMAIN keyboard port
would not be retained, though I suppose it's at least possible that the
cutout
and
label are still there.
OTOH it's entirely possible somebody took the chassis later and returned
it
(unofficially, keeping the upgrade badge on the front)
to 400-series guts,
in
which case it is a proper 400-series with all the
capabilities and
limitations one
would expect.
Regardless of what the chassis looks like, or the badge says: if it has a
PA-RISC
processor, it's still a 700-series. If it has an
MC68030 or 68040, it's
still a 400-
series.
ok
bear.

until further notice
Ok, but when it's upgraded to a 700 series the DIN-plug for the Domain
keyboard would be disappeared.
