I'm a big fan of the PA-RISC architecture, but without software and system
experience, I think I'll have to reluctantly pass on them.
The PA-RISC ones won't run Domain/OS anyway, so are possibly less interesting.
I imagine far more capable PA-RISC machines can be had easily (I expect these
are Apollo 7xx systems - nothing wrong with them, and the construction's
nicely done - just slow compared to other PA-RISC systems)
I think the DN4000 / DN4500 machines are the '040 boxes (and last in the
"real" Apollo line)
Would love them for Bletchley but I'm not about to ship something that heavy
across the pond!
