I'd like to find out what is available in the following
categories for an Apollo Domain 3500 workstation.  Both
hardware and the necessary software would need to be
found.

SCSI adaptor: we have a portable SCSI tape drive that could be
used for backing up the hard drive in the Apollo.  How can we get
it connected?

Floppy drive: this is another backup option, and could also serve
for easy Apollo (and the net) <--> IBM PC/AT file transfer.
Can one get a 1.2 Meg 5.25" or a 1.44 Meg (or 720K) 3.5" drive?
Can it read/write MS-DOS format files?  Or only UNIX files?  Both?

Thanks.
