> HP Apollo 715/50

50 Mhz HPPA 7000 series (kind of quicker than a SparcII). HP's made
I had a 715/33 on my desk in '92. Not too shabby.
HP/UX 10 available as part of their y2k fixes.

This one's HPPA -- something like SparcI-II (33mhz?) speed equivalent.

> Mentor Graphics series 7+/50, HP workstation

No clue.

> HP Apollo series 400
Whoa... the 425 was 68k(040) wan't it. Was this the Apollo's own
architecture or one of the more common 68k boxes?

The 735's were nice deskside servers, some with EISA slot add-ons.
They were 33 MHZ and up (I think our two were 50 mhz).
Proprietary simm slots though.

      Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
      The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
