[rescue] [OT] Looking for HP-UX 11.0 (or 10.20) media for HP 712/60 & 715/100

I did not say OpenStep. NeXTStep 3.3 was the end of the line as far as I'm
concerned.  :(

I didn't know a 715 would run NS but I never saw any trouble with the 712's,
except for the serial interface but there's both a NS and a HP-UX patch for
that.  I've run NeXTStep on 712's since the first 712/60-80i's; and I still
run it at home on a 712/80 and on a beautiful black cube(working MO drive).

Of course I really liked NeWS too(yes, I'm consistant) so my opinion may be
suspect.

I think "strange ethernet" and HP go together.

To the original poster, sorry for the silly answer.

I've seen HP-UX media on E-bay.  I think that you'll only be able to run
10.2 on the 712/60 but the 715 should be able to run 11.0.  The 10.2
Workstation ACE Core OS will install properly on a 712 for sure.

Urk.

ISTR that 712/715's had dodgy ethernet controllers which would periodically
cause kernel panics under NS3.2, 3.3. That - not to mention the marked drop
in interest from HP - was a contributing factor in why HP-PA support didn't
make it into OS4.X.

Other than that, 712s ran NS3.X beatifully, second only to the NRWs...
