Have updated this page with extra details dredged from memory. Will keep doing so from time to time. It may be that I have documentation still stashed away somewhere which would help.
Two comments:
- There really should be two separate pages, one for Aegis and one for Domain/OS, but there isn't enough info for that right now.
- Proper info really requires input from several people, especially from the US (I'm from the UK, so my perspective may not be a typical one)

Yes Domain/OS is a dinosaur, but it's not quite extinct.
I'm tempted to add some information about the Domain/OS system I still use at work every day. An HP/Apollo 433 running Domain/OS 10.4 is the workstation controlling an LTX/Trillium VLSI tester.
It fits the description given in the article - basically, one application is run to control the test equipment. It's programmed in Pascal and the disk space is pretty limited Pavium 12:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
The COBRA and DCE submissions were made prior to the HP acquisition and were a joint submission of DEC and Apollo. The joke my DEC salesman told at the time of the HP acquisition was that when HP bought Apollo, they set network computing back a decade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.214.225 (talk) 01:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
