Poster says "local pickup only", so I really hope someone rescues
these.
680x0 Apollo machines are becoming quite rare and deserve to be
rescued.

Note "I have one keyboard, mouse and monitor set" and that the 300 system* is
running HP-UX - sounds like the one keyboard they have isn't a Domain one, and
I believe Domain OS (which would make the 300 far more interesting!) won't run
without a Domain keyboard attached...
* unless my memory's playing tricks on me. I think the 300 is one of the early
machines, pre-dating the 3000-series, but maybe I'm misremembering. I thought
the only non-Apollo Apollos were the 7xx range.

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.

Hmm, I was thinking all of the non-Domain-capable "fake Apollo" systems were
PA-RISC, so I'd assumed this 300 was a 'real' Apollo; maybe Richard made that
mistake, too.
Now that you mention it, I do remember an HP machine in the 3xx range (I think
it may have been 315) passing through my hands which had he Apollo branding
but wasn't a genuine Apollo - I never did look under the covers to see what
CPU it was, though.

Yeah, I'd always thought that was true of the earlier ones, too - I didn't
realise that was just the 4xx line (those machines are *wonderful*; they purr
along nicely with Domain and the build quality's just fantastic. I'd love to
find one again...)

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.
