Quick overview/summary: The Apollo-I (Domain) computer.
The structure of the Apollo computer network:
--- --------- -- --- ------ -------- --------

       Summary:

       o       ~~ 12 Mbit bandwidth
       o       standard Coaxial RG58 cable
       o       Ring structure, single band.
       o       Token passing [Cambridge Ring Network concept]

Fixed packet sizes [I believe 4K bytes] are constructed for
transmission from one "node" to another. A "node" consists of a
68000 and a winchester disk drive.
