Hello friends,
I am totally ignorant about hp9000 machines. I am considering acquiring this machine for
fun and learning about the 9000. It has a 9153A and 9134D with other accessories. The
system currently boots up to BASIC 4.0
I have read that this machine can also support HP/UX. Can anyone advise if HP/UX can be
installed on such a machine? Perhaps using internal drive for HP/UX and the external hard
drive to boot to BASIC? Both hard drives have BASIC 4.0 installed.
What would be involved to install HP/UX?
Thanks very much

Eugene,
The 310 has no space for an internal disk unit.? It is possible to
install HP-UX but it might depend on the amount of memory in the
system.? There is diskette images for a version of HP-UX that runs on a
310 at hpmuseum.net, http://hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?sw=581 If you
need more memory I have a few 128K and 1MB cards as well as one 4MB card
that are extras.??? I also have a 332 system board that was designed as
an upgrade to the 310.? It replaces the 310 system board and has a 16MHz
68030 processor , 2MB of memory expandable to 8MB and a 68882 math
coprocessor.
Paul.

My 9000/350 runs HP/UX happily, but it has an external HP 6000 670H hard
disk. The damn thing is a tank. Kicking it is more likely to damage your
foot.
