[comp.sys.apollo] dio lan cards in HP/Apollo 4xx

Due to a very complicated sequence of events we have a network of 4xx machines
which were ordered to run HPUX, but on which we are now going to run domain.
This has some curious consequences:

1)  Our servers (433s) machines have DIO interfaces with extra ethernet cards.
    Is there any hope that drivers will be available to support these cards
    under domain ?  Also, the same question with respect to a terminal mux
    card.

2)  All of our machines have HPIB interfaces.  I have one answer from Apollo
    that suggests these will not be supported.  Is anyone out there writing
    a driver to support these ?  If not,  does the HPIB interface occupy the
    same "slot" as the token ring interface shipped with Domain machines and
    in this case is it convenient to swap out the HPIB interface ?
