   Are there any alternative operating systems for the Apollo dn4500???
I ask because it appears to be REALLY slow (though it could be the
performance of the Micropolis 150Meg drive, can I bag _any_ drive onto it?)
and interested party cannot afford to upgrade to Sr10.n....
   The only other alternative we may have is to take it apart and just have
fun hacking on the system board.  (Anyone have a tech. ref. manual they'd
like to sell?)

   btw, it's a dn4500 w/ 4Meg, 150Meg Micropolis drive, Sr9.7, AT co-board,
19" mono, Apollo token-ring setup.

   PLEASE!!!!  Respond via e-mail as our newsfeed goes down every day or
so.  PLEASE!!!!  Someone reply, this is getting to be a problem.  So sorry 
to grovel.
