// ******************************************************* 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
