  I'm about to get one of these Apollos.  Is the port still active?  Is
  there anything else you can tell me about BSD on Apollo, or any other OS
  on Apollos?

The guy who was heading up the porting project has no time these days to
work on it.  In my opinion the whole thing is a waste of time, because
without Domain/OS, an Apollo is just hardware.  If you want NetBSD, you're
better off buying Intel equipment.

If you don't know what Domain/OS is, you don't want it.
