We have a 959/200 KS with 400 concurrent users 1GB Ram;
55 Disc Drives (of varying capacities from 2GB to 8GB),
mirrored, on 4 volume sets, on a network that spans from
the U.K. to the People's Republic of China.

Oy!  We don't expect a life expectancy (end-of life)
anytime soon on the HP3000 unless there is an upgrade
or an IT decision based on company policy.
