Indeed - I've got a particular fondness for both Apollo and Tek systems,
probably because they're not Suns (ten years ago, I wanted a Sun -
nowadays it seems it'd be possible to pick up several a week if I
wanted)

You're right though, it's almost impossible to get documentation or
install media for them.

Still on the look-out for an Apollo DN10k, but don't hold out much hope
of finding one (let alone one with an operational disk / installation
media!)

cheers
