Apollo Domain Aegis SR 9.7.1 lives, huge Y2K bug!

[Bob Shannon]

While cleaning out the workshop, I decided to plug in a few old Apollo 
workstations.

I was eventually able to get one machine (DN4500?) to boot into the 
Display Manager.

The major trick was, I had to set the calendar date back prior to Y2K, 
otherwise the DM
program would crash with an 'unable_to_map' error message.

The Fuji SMD drive on my DN660 spun right up, and the 660 appeared to 
boot, but I have
a minor video cable problem that prevented me from seeing the action 
(other than on the disk
controller status leds).

Anyone interested in some Apollos?
