An update
I acquired another 9000/382 with a hard drive. It booting into VUE and
eventually found out it is running HP-UX 9.10, As usual no root password.
I tried the <ctrl>-\ "hack" while a fsck was taking place and on the 2nd
try it dropped me into single user mode. From there the rest was easy

Looks like a clean install of 9.10 with nothing else.
I'll do a dump of the drive and post the image when I get a chance, lots of
other projects going on.
Now to come up to speed on HP-UX and get it on the network.
Thanks to Frank Slootweg via comp.sys.hp.hpux for the keyboard characters
to try.

For me, the most obvious machines would be the HP264x terminals ;-)
There are numerous software packaged on DC100 cartridges meant to be
read/used with e.g. a HP2645 terminal attached to a HP system (HP1000 or
HP3000)
