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. -- Matthew Wilcox "Windows and MacOS are products, contrived by engineers in the service of specific companies. Unix, by contrast, is not so much a product as it is a painstakingly compiled oral history of the hacker subculture." - N Stephenson
