// ******************************************************* PURPOSE
I recently acquired an hp-apollo 425t. Doing that, there's no doubt,
I protected it, from a definite destruction. Following this salvaging-
purchase, I'd like to wake up this beauty sleeping since many years.
Roughly, this machine seems to me, huming as well as on its birth's day,
but unfortunatly, operates with a quite unusual system: BASIC/HPUX.
Because my ignorance about this OS is nearly total, I hope:
1. to install BSD on the internal SCSI-Disk (RODIME RO3000T)
2. simultaneously, to increase the Hardware Configuration,
by addition of external SCSI-Devices and a AUI/RJ45 Transceiver
(cf. below TECHNICAL DATA)
3. endly, to make operational the computer with the LAN (protocol
TCP/IP) for sharing of files and services.
Please, guide me, step by step, to reach my purpose.
Thanks,
D. Lorin
