I can get an Apollo/Mentor graphics DN660 workstation for what seems
to be a fair price, but since I'm a relative unix newcomer and the seller
is a Macintosh-aholic, I can't get any technical specs from him, 
(he is basically brokering them), my question to all you netters out there
is "How much should a DN660 with networking hw/sw 300MbHD, 8megs RAM
and a 1024x768x256color display go for, and how quick (or slow) are these
things, is HP/Apollo/ (Mentor Graphics?) still supporting them, can they
run SysV and/or Xwindows (would I _want_ to do that?)" I really could only
afford to buy the system, (I'm a junior CS student) and won't be able to
fix it unless something relatively trivial goes wrong)

Oh yeah, what processor do they use, he said it was 32-bit, so I'm guessing
(hopeing for a 68020/'881/MMU, not a 68010 :-) ) 

Please respond via email since I don't keep up with this group very much

Thanks in advance!
