Does anyone know of a source for HP-UX version 9? Version 10 and 11 can easily be found, but none of the earlier versions.

I have a couple of HP Series 300 and Series 200 computers I would like to install HP-UX on and can't find resources anywhere.

Have you tried E-bay? That's where I got my HPUX 11.11 for my J6750 workstation.:wink: You may need to check every couple days for several weeks, but I've found a lot of oddball software like that up for sale there. (Maybe Craigslist also)

I think I may have found Version 9. HP-UX ver. 11 is easily found. Anything before that is rare. Also have to be careful because versions with an even number such as 9.0 were made for servers. Odd numbered versions are for workstations (which I am looking for).

HP 9000 Series 300 computers will only work with HP-UX v9 or older.

BTW xmechanic, that J6750 is one nice pooter!
 
You also have to get the bits for either 68K or PA-RISC.

If you can't turn it up, let me know. I should have 9.03, 9.05, and possibly 9.07 on DDS media. I seem to have misplaced 9.10, though (9.10 runs on series 300/400 in spite of the numbering. It was a post 10.0 release for the 68K platform that was intended to be "more compatible' with 10, hence the number.)

Thanks for the offer. Let me see what I get.

I have a model 382 that uses the Motorola 68000 processor that I'll get running first. It has SCSI built in. I also have a 9000/370 with HP-UX ver 7 installed. It didn't come with the OS, so if the hard drive crashes, I don't have a way to reinstall the OS.
 
Not to hijack the thread but, I just picked up a 9000/822s I need an OS for. 10.10 on dds would be ideal though it might be too much for this machine. It only has a 25Mhz cpu and 40mb of ram in it. Its really cool looking though.

Does anyone know if these can boot a SCSI CDROM ? I have a SCSI card but, so far it just hangs if I try and tell it to boot from it.

Don't know anything about the 800 series except they seem to be rare.

Can't remember where I got this HP-UX Support matrix file, but it may help.

You know the worst thing is I had all the Cds. Last month I was cleaning my office. I dumped a giant box of old original hpux cds out. I just kept what I thought I would need. I had no idea I would need 10.10. I threw out several copies and kept the 10.20 ones. I had many 9.x release cds and all the doc cds etc. I kept all the 11.x stuff. Rest in the trash. It never fails. As soon as I toss something I need it. Its very odd.

Best thing about this system is it ran in a tea factory. Its more air freshener than computer. I blew it out with a compressor. Still, the second I turn it on nothing but, herbal and floral scents pour out. Really strong too. Maybe I should sell it to a spa or something.

The cpu board is pretty cool looking too. PA-RISC 1.0 NS-2 I think.

Bummer to hear that. I'm looking for 9.05 install CD-ROM images for a 712/60. I have original 10.20 install CD-ROM media but have a particular need for 9.05. Or 9.03 would probably do as well.
 
Turns out the 10.10 limitation only applies to the CIO based early PA-RISC 1.0 machines. The 822S uses HP-PB and works fine with later releases. It also boots fine of CDROM as it turns out.

What version was on the 68030 based 300 series I sold you?

The version of HP-UX is 7.? I have to hook the computer back up to get the specific version and I won't have the time until late next week. It works fine though.
I still haven't fixed that Model 735 yet. It's one of many on a long list.
The HP 9000/300 you sold me must have had HP-UX installed using tape media since it doesn't have a SCSI card.
I have a 9144A drive that needs the pinch roller fixed. Over time they turn gooey. The remedy is to remove the rubber material and replace it with an odd size o-ring which I haven't been able to easily find. There are several materials that O-Rings are made of and I'm not sure which is the best to use in this application. If the material is not pliable enough it can destroy a tape.
 
It could have been network installed. I do know all I had were two of the workstations, the business they came from also had a server, but someone else wound up with it. I think both machines had Ethernet, but just with aui connectors that required a transceiver to use Cat5.
 
Is there anyone out there that was on this thread previously? I have an HP 320 (I think) workstation that is running 7 - I always wanted to upgrade to 9 but could not find anyone withe media. I have HP-UX 7 on tape (not dds, it is the bigger style tapes).
 
They are on 1/4 in (QIC). Tape (16 Track)
P/N 5959-1553 Install
P/N 5960-1524 Install (sealed, unopened)
P/N 98594-10041 HP-UX Bundle 1 of 2
P/N 98594-10042 HP-UX Bundle 2 of 2
one additional tape that contains 68000 cross compilers, debuggers and C Compilers

I would have to get the workstation up on the network again, and if the pinch rollers on my tape drive haven't gone to goo yet...

One more thing... is there a procedure for making an image file of a tape? I have done all manner of reading files, etc out to tape, but not really the other way 'round.
Any suggestions?
