Hey all,
According to
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/hp/9000_200/9000-200_periphSupp_Dec8…
(see PDF page 2), it seems as if HP-UX 5.1 should work on the 9000/217.
http://hparchive.com/Catalogs/HP-Catalog-1986.pdf also seems to confirm
this (PDF page 71 under Series 200 Bundled Systems, it's mentioned that
the Model 217 can run single-user HP-UX). However, there seems to be
conflicted information based on people that I've talked to and the
hpmuseum page with a copy of HP-UX 5.1 whether it should work at all,
whether 5.1 is a unified release where the boot floppy should work on
both series 200 and 300, or whether there's another boot floppy for
series 200 which apparently has not been archived.
I recently obtained a Model 217 and would like to know if anyone has
more info on this, the two people that I know of that have tried it get
a hang on boot.
Thanks,
Larkin

It would seem likely that there is a separate boot diskette for 200
series machines that so far no one has found a copy of.? The only thing
I succeeded in booting the 5.1 that is available on hpmuseum.net is a
310.? I tried booting it on a 9920 with a 68010 processor card and got
the same result it posts the starting message and then hangs.

5.1 installation diskettes from bitsavers and hpmuseum are labeled "series
300", we should try to locate the correct release (I also have 217 without
software).
