Is there any interest or value in copies of SR7.0 "Aegis"
or should I just scratch them and add them to my other 8"
disks? (Yes, I used to have an Apollo in my house!! Made
a great heater during those long cold winters.)

I vote for imaging and archiving ... Apollo material is rare and hard to
find afaik.
What hardware is that compatible with?

I don't have the equipment to image them. I do have PDP-11's that can always use
another 8" disk. I don't remember what model they are from I got rid of that
machine
over 20 years ago. Just trying to find out if they are worth trying to sell or just
repurpose.

Definitely worth saving.? I have facilities for imaging these and I'd be
happy to take them on, if no one else is excited to do so :).

The HP Computer Museum would be happy to host copies of any Apollo software if it can be
imaged..

I wasn't aware of that. I have a ton of Apollo QIC images. Shall I put
them up on my Google Drive for you to grab?

sure thing.
we got boxed of tapes and about 100 esdi disks from the support development cluster I
haven't
had time to do anything with
also, i have lots of the last couple of revs of manuals up on bitsavers and there is a
functional
Apollo emulator running in MAME

OK. Should have a link for you today or tomorrow. I want to do an MD5
checsum of all of it because there are a lot of duplicates.

If you still have the disks, scanning the labels would be a good thing

Al, the tape images have been uploaded to:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AbOOHQjssPPEterpJLCP6A3S50K97rp_
Which is a subdirectory (bits/Apollo) in
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2v4WRwISEQRWWFFdVpCZWFTZEU
Unfortunately, my Aegis SR9.7 had errors (I had forgotten that).
As the readme explains, I read each one twice where I could (once on an
actual Apollo, and a second time on Linux), and compared them, and then
took one set (SR10.2, I think), and installed them on the MESS (now
apparently subsumed within MAME - I did this work several years ago)
simulator to make sure the process actually worked.

Definitely interested here Bill - I've got 3 Apollos from a rescue - have the
machines and all the token ring gear but no manuals
or software - as yet have to fire them up but anything Aegis related is of interest to
me.

A fair amount of Apollo software doc can be found at:
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/apollo/
I have other stuff that they probably don't have (yet),
I just fired off a note to Al Kossow, and I expect that QIC tape images
I have will end up on bitsavers.org/bits before too long. Things like
Aegis SR 9.7, Domain/OS up to SR 10.4.1, Compilers, DPCE, NFS, Ethernet
card drivers, Omniback, and the like.
I also have the means to image 8" floppies of most any format (using my
Catweasel) though it has been a wee while since I have done so.
