Of course by p/u only. Anyone got anything similar
that's surplus to their needs?

Note that it's not a real Apollo capable of running Domain/OS - the machine's
all HP and just trading on the nostalgia value of the Apollo name. From memory
it's a well-engineered box inside, but it's no nicer than a Sun / DEC Alpha of
a similar period (i.e. it's Just Another Desktop UNIX box).
It's the sort of thing commonly found lurking at the bottom of university
store cupboards, awaiting disposal for free just as soon as someone actually
notices that it's there :-)

Hi,

Yeah, I wasn't even aware that HP had put the "HP-Apollo" name on the 700
series machiens; I though they'd dropped that after the 400 series?
I also question whether the thing will run Linux as he says in the auction
description....Open/NetBSD certainly, but I've not seen a PA-RISC port of
Linux.

It appears to be a 735/99, which is one of the more expandable 700 series
boxes. I recently snagged a 712/100 which is extremely well engineered, but
much more limited in expansion options.
Still like to find a 300 series machine though, preferably a 370 or 380, but
haven't yet come across one. :-(

I've installed it on C110 and possibly HP "Apollo 715" systems a few
years ago...

Stacks, and stacks, and stacks. How many do you want? I dont know
the specs on my piles of HP gear, but there's quite a bit of it.
Sadly, most of my units are missing the drives, or otherwise refuse to
boot. Free to good home, you figure out how to get them out of Kansas
(Wichita).
