Greetings: I have recently aquired several Apollo DN300's and one of each the DN420 and DN600 models. Being new to the world of Apollo - I have a few questions about these machines. Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated. 1. What type of hard disk drives can be attached to the DN300 & DN420/600 ? 2. Where can I obtain a C compiler for these machines ? 3. What type of communcations/file transfer software is available { Kermit, XModem, etc} ? 4. The DN600 has color boards installed but I do not have the Apollo monitor - what type of RGB monitors can be used - if I attach a RGB monitor what about the keyboard ? 5. How can I use the Server Process Manager to run jobs on other nodes ? 6. Is there any organization or users group which would be willing to assist me in exploring potential uses for these machines ? 7. Where can I obtain parts for these machines - other than HP/Apollo ? So far these machines have been great -- I have really enjoyed working with them. Perhaps with a little more work I can get a fantastic little network running. Mark A.
