I have an HP 16702B logic analyzer (wonderful thing), which is really an HP 712 class workstation embedded in a stack of logic analyzer boards. Wonder if this will run on it.

The question is what it is running now? A minified HP-UX booting a single App, or something else entirely?

  It runs HP-UX, and the logic analyzer software is an X11 application. The HP-UX install on the system even starts up a VNC server, running the logic analyzer app, so you can use it over the network!

    Interesting! Now i want one.

      Yes, you do. Just don't drive up the price on second-hand cards for the rest of us. :-)

    Yup, it's pretty much a full HP/UX 10.xx install. Which is nice, because you can get access to the LA data and do things like write perl scripts to analyze it.

Someone just posted a picture of Doom on one of those (running HP-UX, thought) the other day on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/erob81/not_x86_contest_hp_16700_parisc_150mhz_running/ https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/erob81...
