For as far I know you need a lot of RAM 1 or 2 MB the
more the better, and
That's not a problem. My 9836CU has 4M in it, I think there's 2M in the
9817, but I have some odd 1M boards around anyway.
you will need a CS80 drive and the obvious fast HP-IB
controller with DMA
installed or a SCSI controller with the DMA option installed...
You also need a tape or CD with HP-UX 2.X or 5.1 on it because I don't think
HP-UX 9.xx will run on a 68010.
I think that's the problem. I've nevre heard of anyone having said
version. I beleiv the problem is the DMA controller and MMU, which are
both very different from thsse in later machines.
You can try to install 9.XX, but the HP-UX media I
have is a CD, you can get
the images from me or if needed I can send you the CD's.

a quote :\
Series 100 Motorola 680x0? n/a
What's the 'seriwes 100' here? I know of the HP series 100 machines (the
CP/M nd MS-DOS ones), but I've not heard of those classed as HP9000s.
Series 200 Motorola 680x0 2.x, 5.1
One of the FAQs you mention claims that the series 200s don't run HP-UX
at all. This is clearly nonsense, sinces that's what the 'U' in
'9836CU'
means. But having seen the source of that comment, I know to treat it
with a large dose of NaCL...
