More silly UNIX for me...

While browsing eBay today, I found for $125 an HP Visualize J6000. Its an HP workstation from around 2000, has dual 552 mhz PA-8600 processors, 4 GB of RAM (expandable to 16), 2 18 GB HDs, and HP Visualize fxe graphics. Also came with the original HP USB KB/mouse. I'm hoping mine has the deskside stand/casing, as most did. I think its possible as those photos are from 2007, so they may be generic to J6000s he's sold (the J6000 could be either 2U rackmount, or be installed in a plastic casing with vertical stand). The J6000 can run either HP-UX 10.20-11.22, Linux for PA-RISC, or OpenBSD.

Just as a bit of a heads up. If/when he's ever done with it, I'm buying this workstation from him.

Anyway, congrats techfury90! I'm looking forward to photos of it, and other similar shenanigans.

Excellent. I have two HP-9000s, 725/100 and a D370. Both running HP/UX 11.

I'm amazed that Solaris has done so well without an equivalent to HP/UX SAM or AIX SMIT.

What sweet machine. While I don't know much about those CPU's you do have some good iron there.

I have a source who might be coming up with a kb/mouse combo for my Ultra10 shortly and that fills me with glee. I can't wait to dive in.

I hope you enjoy your gear before Cory drools all over it.

You don't need that. Serial from serial port A to modem port on a mac, then fire up MacTerminal or similar.

Get Solaris installed, then get it on a network and use X over the network.

I used my Sun Ultra 1 with a Belkin KVM and Sun adapter. It worked great using a standard monitor with VGA cable (monitor was set to 1600x1200) and a PS/2 kbd and a PS/2 mouse.

Forgot to add, I got an HP Envizex X terminal to go with it for $36 off of eBay.

If you need the EnWare software for the Envizex, let me know, I have a (burned) copy or two around here somewhere.

Oh well. Going by how it works, I could probably just get the generic up on HP-UX without any problems.

I've had it running in Redhat 6.2 (sparc) and Solaris 7 - and this was before I knew what I was doing ;)

I'm looking at picking up an HP9000 system in the fall, once my current projects are complete. Likely an old 700-series machine...

So the Envizex came today. It was sold as used, but I was surprised to get a box on my doorstep that said "HP Envizex X Station" on it. Inside was an Envizex a, with EVERYTHING unopened. Very cool.

Finally got HP-UX 11.11 (11i v1) up on it. It now does things like searching for aliens, and I've gotten a lot of stuff like Pidgin and X-chat to build on HP-UX.
