There was a man in Kansas IIRC who had a bunch of Apollo stuff. I imagine it's long
gone. If still available, please send me a private. I likely will be in that area w/i a
month God willing. Never know what tomorrow will bring though.

Funny, because having an Apollo workstation is on my wishlist ;)

C: yeah but I"m not laughing Ola, I'm crying :(. I want one too, and all I got is
a motherboard! Maybe I'll just stick it in a Mac case and be happy.

I have a CPU chassis from the 386 version and an incomplete set of floppies
I'm afraid it may be extinct. I got the chassis from another collector and
have seen nothing at all from them for at least 15 years.
The original Valid Scaldstations are in better shape. CHM has one as well
as a workstation collector in Pittsburgh.
All of the Unix variants of the Corvus 68k machines seem to be gone, too.
Honeywell and I think Valid sold versions of those.

I picked up a couple of the 20" Mitsubishi monitors sometime in the
early 80s from a Haltek (not Halted) parking lot sale. I used them
for a few years with EGA cards (with a sync adapter). Huge, heavy
things--my desk developed a sag in the middle from the weight of one
(it's still not right). I still have the maintenance manual for the
monitor, in case anyone needs one. Has some good info on the
convergence procedure.
Eventually, I traded them to Dave McGlone for a TRS80 Model 16 and
some other stuff. I still think I got the better deal (Alexandre,
there's your 68K system. If you get bored with the 68K, you can
always revert to the Z80).
I wondered if anyone collected the whole Daisy systems.

Are you talking about the EDA systems? I saw one of those in use in
the late 1980s. Damn that was a powerful system.
I used a similar but competing system, a Calay, many years ago. It's
a schematic capture and PCB autorouting system. The main processor is a
PDP-11/23, and it has an ASIC-based autorouting assist processor
connected to it via a parallel DMA interface. The whole shebang is
built into a desk. I actually own one of these systems (sans desk,
sadly) but haven't yet had it shipped here.
Hard-core stuff.

I have several Apollo systems - not working at the moment. They have
been badly stored for a number of years and I need to do a little bit
of work to bring them back to life. It is high on my todo list - just
not urgent at the moment. Hopefully I can get at least one of them
working before the end of the year.
I am located in Perth, Western Australia.
