Does anyone have a price on HPUX that would run on a 3000 927LX, or atleast a
rough estimate??
Maybe I should just trade everything for a good 9000 box to run HPUX  anyone
interested?? would prefer someone in the Ottawa, Canada area due to the weight
of these things shipping costs could kill us.
Once again I have 927LX 3000 , 6000SE SCSI tower, 2345A DTC box (18ports
installed), would like to keep the 700/92 terminal and keyboard for the 9000
if compatible, drives are full height and probably the original ones shipped
with the system (2 total, 1 in the 3000 and 1 in the SE tower)
anyone interested ??
