I'd just like to introduce myself. I've liberated a 715/33 Apollo from
use as a monitor stand and managed to retrieve all the pieces needed to
get it as far as a boot prom prompt. It's got 56MB of RAM and a hard disc
of some description. I've got it attached to the ethernet, though I have
no idea whether this is working right now. I don't however have anything
to boot right now - apparently this disc was used for swap when this
workstations was running HP-UX in the dim distant past (you should see
the dust).
I have no previous experience of the HP architecture, but I'm a dab hand
at ARM assembler and I'm willing to learn. Anyway, here I am with a
machine, ready to help.
