I have found a couple of Apollo DN333 workstations available at an
apparantly good price.  Naturally, I wonder:

1)  Should I get one for our lab.  Meaning, does anyone at UT have one,
are they supported, what year technology are they, do they have a history
of having their <whatzis> fail, etc.  What CPU do they have, are there
tech manuals... Gosh, the list goes on.  Think up something and answer
me.

2) Does anyone else want the other one/have one to sell cheaper/have an
idea of a fair price for a working/as is unit.  


3) I saw things like X-windows listed in a comprehensive Apollo catalog.
Does this model support X windows?  Can I generally port anything as 
conveniently as any other unix platform.  Are Aegis, Domain flavors of
unix?  Do I want to get Sys V and figure that into my purchase price decision?
