Some people wanted to know what Apollo gear I have available. It would take some time to make a real list, but here's an overview of the larger bits: 1 DN330 with 72 meg drive, may need a monitor swap (I have spares). About 6 DN300's, with a mix of 40 and 72 meg drives (8 inch Priam's I think). 1 DN660, complete with spare board set, 8 plane graphics, and a spare 300 meg SMD drive, multibus I/O cage, monitor, etc. Currently powers up, but did not boot the last time I tried, but I have not even re-seated the boards and cross over connectors (a common issue with 660's). A small pile of DN3xxx machines, some not complete. I do have a booting, running DN4500, but it has a custom application installed and someone I know really wants the data from that. I was going to give him the whole machine running, but there are other options. I also have some extra token ring board, keyboards, monitors, ESDI drives and other such frippery. Personally, I think the jewel in all of this is the DN660. Its very clean and complete and has spares. Its also interesting in that Apollo could not wait for Motorola to deliver the 68030, so they built their own out of AMD bit-slice parts. Its really an amazing hack.

I seem to remember a friend installing NextSTEP on a HP/Apollo PA RISC based machine at some point.
