Upon the date 01:22 PM 3/16/00 -0800, Mike Ford said something like:
What was the highest HP-UX version that the 300-series could handle? Was it
around 7.0 or 8.0? I've got a 9000/375 with 7.(mumble) and am curious.
The 9000/332's at my old job seem to handle the Y2K thing okay according to
my wife who still works with them there. Their application is a fixed
machine control/data crunching job running under Workstation Pascal 3.2
(not HP-UX) so dates are somewhat a non-issue anyway.
BTW, anybody got a WS Pascal 3.2 distribution and manuals available?
Regards, Chris

Hi Paul,
Actually, that was the first place I looked....barely a mention of the "4xx"
series and nothing at all about the "7xx" machines.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but there just doesn't seem to be
much in the way of FAQs detailing the HP-9000 family in general (or
HP-3000) - or am I looking in the wrong places?
Actually I was impressed it looks like a LOT of activity is going on just
from chasing the 3 or 4 posts to this list with links. I found mailing
lists, newsgroups, and half a dozen or more web sites. Now "some" of the
links were pretty quiet, but many "looked" active.
HP is doing a ONE TIME free update to older 9000 series computers (they say
9000/800, but I don't know) to current 10.20 software. This offer ends on
April 30th 2000, so don't drag your feet if interested. The blurb claims
they want to "welcome" people back to HP support, but I didn't see any
strings. Could be they see offering this as a blanket get out of liability
on any y2k issues.
