When HP purchased Apollo Computer Inc in 1989, I believe that this was their move to buy into the 'Unix-based' workstation market, and the Apollo version of Unix suddenly became HP-UX.

This led to the HP-Apollo-9000-400t etc.

I just can't call this innovation, but just another purchase/acquisition.
Sorry Jim.
Tom.
