Some useful
information for Apollo workstation owners running Domain Aegis.

In 1990, I had the opportunity to
deliver four Apollo workstations to a customer who had very little experience of
any kind with workstations, UNIX machines, or PC's. To help them with some
basics I wrote a Survival Guide which described how to setup the initial
shipment and how to perform some basic functions. As the Apollo workstations
exit the commercial market and end up in the homes of hobbyists and students the
need for cheap technical information is going up at a time when the industry is
forgetting all about the Apollo's. For experienced Apollo users the information
here will be old news. For the unexperienced the information may be of great
value!
Please
resist the urge to email me and ask me Apollo questions. I will probably
*IGNORE* requests for free advice unless I get multiple requests from different
people, know the answer, and have the time to add it here for all to use. No one
pays me anymore to answer Apollo questions and I didn't spend 6 years acquiring
knowledge in order to give it away for free in my valuable spare time! Sorry I
have to be such a grouch, but I've learned from experience that answering one
question leads to two new people with two more questions, etc.
