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.
