I finally decided to pick up the HP 9000/216 box which

around at my usual supplier for a few weeks. I spent a little time
looking at google, and can't find much info on them.
if these are what I think they are, they are PA architecture and there
is an HPUX 11.11 release
that HP will send you that is pretty good. You can use GNU tools for
compiling since the HP
compiler is expensive and not free.
Main drawback is that the main disk storage is HVDiff SCSI . I plan to
use a pacific converter to
single ended and use regular drives, but the usual system will have a
big old HVD scsi drive in it
which isn't very big in capacity.
