What is this HP 9000/220?

You need to look at the series number to figure out what the CPU is: 500 - FOCUS (HP-proprietary 32-bit stack machine) 200 - 680[01]0 300 - 680[1234]0 (I think the 310 was the only 68010-based series 300) 800 - PA-RISC 400 - 68040 700 - PA-RISC I think these days there is also a Series 600 that is PA-RISC and a "T500" that is PA-RISC. Some of these also have HP 9xxx numbers besides the "9000 Series xxx" designation. If you go back and look at how they were originally sold, the "HP 9000" was briefly just the FOCUS-based systems, which eventually became the HP 9000 Series 520, 530, 540, and 550, and I think I have seen references to the 9000 Series 520 as the "HP 9020". The HP 9000 Series 226 and 236 were originally sold as the HP 9826 and HP 9836; I believe there was some sort of upgrade involved for the 9836 that made it capable of running HP-UX (in addition to the original BASIC, Pascal, and HPL). -Frank McConnell
