It is a 9000/350 (25MHz '020 + '881), 16MB RAM, 670MB main drive, HP-UX 8.0.
And I still have 10b2 on my 10MBit backbone, so it plugged right in.
Niiice! Looks very clean, and obviously working.
We still have two HP machines running HP-UX as
part of our AVL system (automatic vehicle
locating.) The county buses all have GPS units
on them, and when the GPS is shadowed out
downtown between buildings, there's a connection
from the odometer to the processor on the bus, so
it can dead-reckon its position until it gets a GPS fix again.
I wish I could remember what kind of systems they
are, or what version of HP-UX (might be 9?) but I
do know the desktop is CDE. All I know is we have
lot of 2GB SCSI drives dying and they're hard to
find. Have to buy them on e-pay.
