Does anyone still have this hardware and tried booting it in recent years?
I think I might borrow one from some NetBSD people, if I ask really really
nicely :)
AFAIR NetBSD doesn't support the Apollos.
OK, I was (and still is) somewhat confused about the defintion of "apollo" :)
What NetBSD does support is the so called hp300, the Apollo DNXXXXX is not
supported, allthough there appearantly a guy "working" on it every now and
then. http://netbsd.pair.com/Ports/hp300/
What definition of Apollo are we talking about in Linux/m68k context?
I thought it was http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/linux-hp/ which
actuall is hp300, from what I can tell.
We're talking about the real Apollos (DNxxxx): the machines that used to run
DomainOS, and felt very sad when they couldn't find their friends on the
(token ring) network ;-)
`hp300' means HP/Apollo 9000 machines, more specifically the 300 and 400
series.
Later HP/Apollo 9000 machines (e.g. the 700 series) used PA-RISC, not
m68k.
Do you plan to work on getting the Linux support back into shape?
Heh, no, I was just saying that I might try to boot one :)

(for the Apollo, I can only keep it `good' ;-)
