     Does anybody know anything about APOLO workstations? If you do, I would
     really appreciate if you would let me know is it a RISC machine, how many
     MIPS, MFLOPS double precision specmark, and the cost. I know nothing about 
     them. How good software development  environment is?

     For those who are interested the HP 700 series so far has been the
     most suggested one. 

    Please respond by email since I do not currently subscribe to 
    this interest group.

HP/Apollo workstations, with the exception of the DN10000, are Motorola
680x0 based machines.  The most powerful is the new DN5500, which is based
on the Motorola 68040, and delivers some 20 Mips, 2.2 LINPACK Mflops and 9.7
SPECmarks. Cost for a useable configuration is ~$22K.
