I got a HP9000 - now what?

I picked up this huge HP box with half the case(plastics anyway)
missing... I picked it up because it had a DomainRing card and other
Apollo-like ports. I finally figured out it's an HP9000, but I'm not
sure which one yet. The board is labeled A1421-66538. It has a 25MHz
68040 CPU. The HP-IL keyboard port is a neat touch. Does this thing
use a normal VGA monitor? Looks like this one has a tape drive(DC600
tapes like my Apollos?), and two hard drives - one is a freaking big
5.25" FH like my Apollos, the other is HP SureStorageDisk 1000S+ 3.5"
drive. I see 4 ISA slots, one has a DomainRing card. Will the other
Apollo cards work there too? Any pointers to good HP9000 info(I'm
still recovering from hauling this huge box in to do much searching
right now - this thing is bigger and heavier than the Apollos! LOL, I
though nothing could get bigger...)

I think my iMac is intimidated by this huge box towering over it on
the desk now...
