I just finished my first pass through running each of
the four systems.
Apollo 735
80 MB ram, 203H processor, fails to find file HP-UX
This sounds like a nice system to set up and put to good use.
Mentor Graphics series 700 / 720
32 MB ram, gets stuck when trying to boot (bad drive?)
Mentor Graphics 715t/50
56 MB ram, boots into hp-ux, then immediately gripes about something
missing, gives a return code of 256 and dumps memory to the hard drive
(will repeat endlessly too).
Oh, yes, Mentor Graphics did these with the early hp 700's; better to
reinstall the OS. I had the boot- hpux - panic - shutdown - reboot
problem too... this can happen in a system that was networked, w/o
enough local space for a kernel core dump and which finds itself suddenly
off the network.
HP 400t
Aaaack, this poor old baby almost seems to boot, but the A1416A graphics
board isn't syncing with my HP 1097C monitor (anybody know the dip switch
settings for 72 hz?) or will it just not work with a 1097C?
Now, this is an entirely different beast. This is probably a 68040-based
machine. Nice, but slower. Some of these even had a GPIB interface, as
HP was still transitioning from high speed GPIB storage to SCSI. Don't
wipe out any libraries off such a machine!
As for the monitor, 1097's are for later, 700-series machines. Whatever
card you have in the 400t is probably 60Hz. Look at the following;
there may be some info.
