I am sorry, but I misstated part of my question.  The documentation that
stated that parts may not be available for the 3000 came from HP Marketing.
My client has had HP Support for about 20 years and is extremely concerned
that all of sudden HP is not only saying that support will run out in 2005
but parts may not be available even if the client is on support after
October 2003.  This is a major HP shift of policy.

All our plans being made is to move off the HP3000 (unless something like
OPENMPE becomes a viable option) by Jan 2005 for final user testing.  We
might be able to accomplish this.  However It would be impossible to meet a
Oct 2003 deadline.

Since this is official HP marketing material, the client is in a total
quandary about the real status.  I am hoping someone here might have more
insight on this.

Thanks for your help.
