I have obtained, due to Y2k related activities and general cleanup, a VERY
LIMITED number of copies of original software distribution tapes for the
Apollo Domain/OS operating system and some product support kits.
(I also have some other software, but due to licensing, I am not
comfortable making that available. However, if you have NFS, Omniback, CC
or DPCE software for Apollo Domain/OS and are having problems reading your
tape(s), if you scan in a copy of your label and send it to me, we can see
if we can arrange something).
I am making them available at no cost, except that the REQUESTER PAYS THE
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING COSTS (usually just a pound or two). The prepayment
will be based on the estimate from the UPS web site. If you send me too
much, I will send the difference by other means after I ship, if it is more
than $2.00 -- otherwise I will not bother).
I am making them available to people who (priority order) (USE THIS CODE BELOW)
PRIORITY CODE:
1. Has an HP/Apollo Domain machine (proof required, including node-id,
preference would be a picture),
but does not have tapes (you are on the honor system for that part)
2. Is writing a simulator and needs software (some proof required, such as
design documentation, compiler headers, ...)
(Having been in that boat myself, I have empathy for anyone in that
situation. But, I'd be surprised to find anyone
in this situation for an Apollo Domain/OS machine).
3. An education institution (this would really surprise me, but you never
know)
4. Has an HP/Apollo Domain machine (proof required -- see above), has
tapes, but would like a backup set.2
Shipping code (see below)
PICKUP: If you can pick the tapes up. Gets you 1 notch higher priority.
SHIP: If you need to have them shipped to you. (You pre-pay shipping).
Available only to folks in the US and places UPS will ship to with no
headache for me (again, these are free, after all). Again, the requester
must PREPAY SHIPPING based on an estimate from the UPS web site.
The tapes are little used, and in their original plastic boxes with their
original labels. The tapes date from around 1990 - 1992.
( I read thru a set of tapes like these to do a software install last year
without a problem, but I can make NO GUARANTEE that the tapes are
readable. (after all, they are free).
Requests for tapes should be sent via email. PLEASE READ *ALL* of the
following information to the end of this message CAREFULLY.
Request MUST include the following filled out (please cut and paste into
your message)
Request MUST include "DOMAIN/OS TAPE REQUEST" in the subject of the e-mail,
and should be addressed to:
c u b e 1 (at) h o m e (dot) c o m
************************
NAME: Your Name

PRIORITY: Your priority code (see above) (#1, #2, #3 or #4)
SHIPPING: (See above: PICKUP or SHIP)

*************************
Requests should be submitted before 7/5/2000. I need to allow some time
for priorities to be properly registered.
I will ship when I am good and ready, probably in July or August. (After
all, these are free -- but I do want to get them out of my hair).
Generally YOU MAY ONLY REQUEST 1 SET.
Exception: If you request one of set 10, 11 or 12 you may also pick one of
set 13,14 and/or one of set 15,16
Note: If you have a 68040 based machine, SR10.2 is useless. You need
SR10.3, including PSK8 (see below)
