rescued.HP-UX is mentioned in the offer. So these aren't Apollos. One is a HP9000-735
(PA-RISC) and the other is some sort of HP9000-300 (M68k). They will nor run
Domain/OS.
The dual universe machines where the HP9000-400. They could be configured in
HP-UX or Domain mode.
The Apollo 300 and 3000 machines where pre-HP.

Both are still worth saving. The 735 is a Early PA-RISC would need a
HIL type keyboard/mouse or a serial terminal to boot. The 9000-3xx
uses the same keyboard and mouse. Has no internal storage and Uses
HP-IB interface. So if complete, it would have at least an external hard
drive.
- The 735 is a Large PC desktop size but only 4" high. The 9000-3xx
are about the size of a small desktop. 13"W 16"L 6"H . The drives
and C-tape all stack on each other and are all HP-IB interface. Some of
the later 380's and 384s had SCSI interface also.
