*early* Domain OS available?

[Bob Shannon]

Early Apollo's with 8-inch drives can run Aegis SR9.7.2.

Again, I have a working DN4500 with the old SAU's for these
machines.

I also have a complete DN660 with spares, needs some work
reseating boards to get it to boot properly.

I'd like to unload all my Apollo hardware and documentation.

Anyone interested?
