Thanks  for the  update. I do not have  much knowledge on the HP-UX  as   I spent user time  on the  HP-3000  MPE  side . (well and  before that  HP2000 and a little HP-1000 and PDP-8)    Ed#     In a message dated 5/18/2018 7:34:58 AM US Mountain Standard Time, space...@gmail.com writes:   On

The 9000 Series 500 is very different from later 9000s. I don’t think there more than one speed of CPU, although there was an early and later CPU with the later CPU having a floating-point unit onboard. What you get out of a 9000 Series 550 over a Series 520 (aka 9020) is mostly more I/O
