if these are what I think they are, they are PA architecture and
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.
