Hi Piotr,
I know that you can get, I believe, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, and 7.5 from Client Systems. There's a fee, but for bare bones MPE/iX without any of the major add-ons, I'd think price would be minimal.
These are legitimate licensed copies of MPE/iX, so all's above board as concerns HP.
I'm sure most of us on this list have the installation tapes for the various revs supplied with our systems, but, especially in light of Oracle's actions re: intellectual property, I wouldn't want to base a product on a bootleg copy of an O/S.
FWIW...Jack

(repost from comp.sys.hp.mpe)
Hi All
As I can't get any response from HP, I've decided to give this group a try... With a group of a system programmers, we're working on free, open source 3k emulator, based on QEMU (and it's binary translator), with the goal to get a fully functioning rp7400/N4K environment. As for now, we have it working with HP-UX 11i, but our main goal is to get MPE/iX up and running on it... So, my question is - is someone on this group able to provide us with a MPE/iX installation media images? I know it's a gray land, but as I can't get any response from HP (even after they announced their HP3k simulator programme), I'm willing to risk and try to run our simulator with 'unauthorized' copy of the OS, just to check if it's working...
Thank you for your help,
Piotr
