Relisted with reduced buy-it-now ebay item # 260354394197
'course since the last listing expired with no bids, you could
probably low-bid on this and get the two cards with no competition.
I guess people aren't really collecting Apollo workstation stuff. A
shame, really.

I've never seen a genuine early Apollo (2xx or 3xx). There still seem to be
3x00 and 4x00-series machines around, although they're by no means common.
They seem to be of that class of machine where they're still out there
lurking, but it's difficult to get in touch with any of the owners who still
have one.
I've got a hankering after one of the "last of the line" 4xx-series (i.e.
the
last genuine Apollos before they became 7xx PA-RISC HP-UX boxes) as they're
stylish vintage systems, but still fast enough to feel "useful". Fantastic
build quality, too. Sadly they seem far rarer than the 3xxx/4xxx boxes (and
IME 2/3 of them have long since lost their Domain keyboard)
I've got archives of Domain OS 10.2, which I'm keeping for a rainy day when I
eventually do find a 4xx... (of course Domain comes into its own when you have
multiple systems, so I'd really like several 4xx systems ;)
And I know I've mentioned before that I'd love a DN10k, but there's not
exactly much chance of *that* happening! (I'd love to know how many DN10k's
they sold... not many, I suspect)

I have one without a head, keyboard or mouse. Eventually I'd like to
recondition it and see about getting it up and running, but
realistically its pretty far down on the list.

Hi All
As time passes it becomes more difficult to find any thing on Apollo DN
systems I have posted what I have come across over the last few years,
but I have had no success finding DN10000 information brochure/datasheet
etc but I will keep trying any thing I come across will be posted on
www.1000bit.com under the brochure heading
Regards mark

I saw a 660 in Portland Oregon about 5 years ago at a scrappers. No
Kbd or monitor.
I have a DN 570 in storage with KBD and monitor.
About 17 years ago I had 4 320s and 330s. I wish I had kept one. I
really liked playing with it.
I sold my last 330 in a farmers auction ourside of Canby Oregon in
1995 or so. It may still be in some farmers barn.
There used to be several DN10,000s in the Portland area but that was
about 10 years ago,
Paxton
