Hello world,
I just have access to two Apollos (DN600 and DN400), however I can not
find a manual for these two beast!! :( so I wonder if anyone has an extra
set of manual sitting around they would like to loan it to me for a couple
days or so. I'm interest in any hardware/software that you may have...even
a catalog :)
Thanks much,
John
ps.....since I just set up this DN600, I notice that it has a RGB cable
to the 2131 color monitor. It has 3 BNC connectors (labeled A1, A2, and A3)
does A1 go into RED
A2 --> Green
A3 --> Blue ??
and.. the cpu board contains 2 68000s! ... did anyone ever remove
them and upgrade those two cpus to 68010? Did the performance
increase?

Did the performance > increase? The two 68000 sit there pretending to be a 68010 - I believe one does the work, and the other pretends it's a MMU - but I may be wrong. I can't see replacing them with 68010s being any use. The best way to improve performance would be to get hold of the processor (2 boards) & boot processor (1 board) out of a 660 - people *must* be throwing them away by now... - then you'll have a *real* computer (68020 look-alike).

I need a login id and password!. Is there a default account, like maintenance that I can use?
