It's an old one. :)
I can't even remember what's in there other than a ton of ram and no
disk. I think it takes a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, it uses a 13w3
monitor which I have a cable for (though I may need a gender bender
to get it to work on mine; it looks like the cable is intended to be
plugged in to both the monitor and the system).
I've never played with HP-UX; I'd like to eventually get some
hardware and play with it, but with AIX, I already have hardware
designed to run it.

Give me the model from the front sticker (XXXX-XXX alphanumeric
possibly)
and I probably have the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for it in
PDF.
Somewhere around here I have an old copy of AIX which is also a
Unix based
OS. I don't moneky with AIX much, gives me a large longlasting
migrane same
as HPUX.

Yeah, but a 400mhz IBM PPC is what, the IBM equivalent of a G3? I've
got an old RS/6000 with 128mb RAM that I need to get a drive for one
of these days so I can play with AIX. You can't beat a system that
has 128mb RAM through 1mb and 8mb sticks. :)

My RS/6000 ran fine with MacOSX but it has a PPC at 400 I think and

it. If it
doesn't work toss the old drive in and go back to where you where.
Your
machine probably runs SCSI anyway, easy enough to find cheaply. My
server
runs almost 2 terrbaytes of SCSI drives in RAID, got them all
surplus.

I assume you mean "G3 or better"? I have an older system that's a
PowerPC -- 75mhz. Something tells me, other than the fact that I
know the minimum requirement is a G3, that it's not going to
boot up
in there if I grab the CDs from work and try to install. ;)

As long as it runs a G3 or PowerPc processor it should run MacOS X
