there is an HPUX 11.11 release
Nope, they're 68k.
I don't think you could have put only 1.5MB of memory into any PA-RISC
box.

That model came out in 1982, so the RAM seems to be pretty good for that
time period. The HP Computer Museum Website says: "The 9816 family was also
known as the 200 Series Model 16, 9000 Model 216 and 9000/216."

If you look under the software section for the 200/300 series there are some
things to play around with (test utils, basic, Pascal, etc). I think they
have the manuals for the unit as well.
The HP 9000 series was 68K up to the 400S model (68030) then they switched.
I'm pretty sure that the 425 and 433 machines were 68040-based.
