[comp.sys.apollo] DOS on an Apollo - is it any good?

phcalamai@water.waterloo.edu (Paul H. Calamai) (03/21/90)

A colleague of mine wants to know if Apollos provide
good support for DOS applications, development, etc.
Could someone out there please let me know the ins
and outs regarding this possibility ASAP.  They
have to make a decision before fiscal year end
(money to spend and nowhere to spend it).  We have
a small Apollo network (3 DN2500 diskless, 1 DN3500
with disk, 1 DN3000 with disk, etc) and they're
thinking of connecting to our ring.  We haven't
had any experience whatsoever with DOS emulation or
hardware solutions so please be as specific as possible
and I will pass your comments/recommendations on.

Thanks.
