This 9000/350 was Stan Sieler's, IIRC, and passed through an intermediary who
couldn't maintain space for it, so I ended up with it and I put it in storage
until I could get space myself. Now that I have space, Homer is resurrected.
It is a 9000/350 (25MHz '020 + '881), 16MB RAM, 670MB main drive, HP-UX 8.0.
And I still have 10b2 on my 10MBit backbone, so it plugged right in.

I figure Stan will enjoy seeing it's still out there and operational.

It's beautiful, but seeing as it is an 68020, any chance there's
something like 'tme' for it to run HP/UX v.Old on an emulator?

Niiice! Looks very clean, and obviously working.
We still have two HP machines running HP-UX as
part of our AVL system (automatic vehicle
locating.) The county buses all have GPS units
on them, and when the GPS is shadowed out
downtown between buildings, there's a connection
from the odometer to the processor on the bus, so
it can dead-reckon its position until it gets a GPS fix again.
I wish I could remember what kind of systems they
are, or what version of HP-UX (might be 9?) but I
do know the desktop is CDE. All I know is we have
lot of 2GB SCSI drives dying and they're hard to
find. Have to buy them on e-pay.

Nice!
And yes, I have a 10base-2 segment, too. And I must resurrect it.
I used to have 16Gb/sec ADSL here, before I switched providers from O2
to Orange & it dropped to just under 8. ("We're sorry, sir, but that's
the maximum your line will support." Lying ?$%&@~s.)
Having the 2 spare rooms - and their lodger occupants - on a 10Mb/s
segment was a very handy way of stopping them from hogging all my
bandwidth. ;?) It also means I don't need a house full of switches,
all of which need mains sockets...

Gotta have 10Base-2, both my Amiga 3000 and my DECserver expect it
(not that I've used either in a aeon or two).
