We currently have about 20, mostly 712/60 with a few 715s. I've found a pile of machines with an Appollo nameplate, rather than HP, and a 730 model number. They look a fair bit like a 735, deeper case than 712 or 715, boards that slide in from the back. The vendor assures me they use a first generation PA-RISC CPU. Are these the HP 730 the hardware database mentions? If not, will they run Linux?
