Just landed a
nice C8000 with a dual-core PA-8900 CPU for playing with at a
nice price, the last and most powerful of the Visualize workstations. I
have a CD set of 11i v1 in my stock closet which should do nicely.
Any other PA-RISC users onlist? Any gotchas? The last Visualize I worked on
was a C3750, so that was a little behind this generation. I just don't have
the space for a K-class, tho. 8)
Well, not a PA-RISC user per se. I've got an Apollo series 700 at
home running PUX 10, but I am a HP/UX admin at work running 11iv1-v3
on RX7 and BL870. I've still got an option on a N-class (upgraded
to a RX), but it's so damned large ;)
I did my time on a K250 back in the day which ran 10.20 and was upgraded to
11i when I left. Later they added an L-class of some variety before they
decommissioned their PA-RISC gear altogether and I think they just run
garden variety x86 Dell servers now.
The bio department had a C3750 for (what else?) visualization when they got
some big NSF grant, plus an overpowered SunFire V-something. I thought the
C3750 was a slick machine though I didn't use it much other than getting
it configured for them.
Other than my HP 9000/350, it'll be good to have some HP hardware on deck
again.
