ebay: 2 vintage cards for apollo workstation

[Brennan Mark]

Hi All
As time passes it becomes more difficult to find any thing on Apollo DN
systems I have posted what I have come across over the last few years,
but I have had no success finding DN10000 information brochure/datasheet
etc but I will keep trying any thing I come across will be posted on
www.1000bit.com under the brochure heading 

Regards mark

I saw a 660 in Portland Oregon about 5 years ago at a scrappers. No
Kbd or monitor.

I have a DN 570 in storage with KBD and monitor.

About 17 years ago I had 4 320s and 330s. I wish I had kept one. I
really liked playing with it.

I sold my last 330 in a farmers auction ourside of Canby Oregon in
1995 or so. It may still be in some farmers barn.

There used to be several DN10,000s in the Portland area but that was
about 10 years ago,
