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.
