Denys' reply was certainly misleading, and hopefullymeant as humor.

MPE's POSIX shell does not make it "Unix".

No, MPE/iX doesn't run MPE and Unix at the same time.  (That's could
trigger another story, however).

The HP 3000/927 hardware you have *could* run HP-UX (instead of MPE/iX).
In fact, an HP 9000/807 is basically 100% identical hardware (even the clock
speed is the same).   (The HP 9000 line is the HP-UX line)

But...you don't have a license to do that.  HP does (or did?) sell "3000 ->
9000" screw up kits ... er .... step backward kits ... er ... conversion kits.

However, you could probably trade your 927 for a similar 9000/8xx and
possibly get some money out of it too.  That's because comparable hardware
3000s have always cost more than 9000s.

You can do some limited cross development between the HP 3000 and
HP 9000.  Code compiled by the C compiler, for example, is generally
movable between systems (in .o form, *NOT* in linked program form!).
