Re: HP-UX on HP 9000/217
5.1 installation diskettes from bitsavers and hpmuseum are labeled "series 300", we should try to locate the correct release (I also have 217 without software).

Thanks, Larkin It would seem likely that there is a separate boot diskette for 200 series machines that so far no one has found a copy of. The only thing I succeeded in booting the 5.1 that is available on hpmuseum.net is a 310. I tried booting it on a 9920 with a 68010 processor card and got the same result it posts the starting message and then hangs. Paul.
HP-UX on HP 9000/217
Hey all, According to http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/hp/9000_200/9000-200_periphSupp_Dec89.pdf (see PDF page 2), it seems as if HP-UX 5.1 should work on the 9000/217. http://hparchive.com/Catalogs/HP-Catalog-1986.pdf also seems to confirm this (PDF page 71 under Series 200 Bundled Systems, it's mentioned that the Model 217 can run single-user HP-UX). However, there seems to be conflicted information based on people that I've talked to and the hpmuseum page with a copy of HP-UX 5.1 whether it should work at all, whether 5.1 is a unified release where the boot floppy should work on both series 200 and 300, or whether there's another boot floppy for series 200 which apparently has not been archived. I recently obtained a Model 217 and would like to know if anyone has more info on this, the two people that I know of that have tried it get a hang on boot. Thanks, Larkin
