The "merged" Apollo/HP 68k-based boxes were:
400s, 425s = "trailways"
(so-called because it had so many busses...)
This is the one which looks ever-so-slightly like a DN4500
mating with a HP300...
(deskside 50mhz 030 or 25mhz 040; this same enclosure is
used for the PA-based 9000/750 and 9000/755)
400t, 425t = "strider"
(desktop 50mhz 030 or 25mhz 040)
425e = "woody"
(small-pizza-box 25mhz 040;
the same enclosure was used for the PA-based
9000/705 and 9000/710)
I'm not sure where the "dl" came from..
[The 400's were an interim release because motorola was behind
schedule on the 68040. they had a kludge board with the 040 pinout,
an 030, some clock-doubling logic, and some other gunk on it.]
