#parisc — Public Fediverse posts

As a kid i dreamed of ALL THE tech and what could be. New stuff always excited me but these days it's just dire, the only thing in recent years that brought back some joy was #VR and #RISC_V but everything else coming out, I just wonder how big tech will use it to fuck us up even more...

And as kid I would have also never dreamed that things like a 21 years old #HPUX #Unix workstation would help me stay sane and fill me with true wonder instead.

For everyone worried that #unix and in particular #hpux might be hard to use, I made a short #tutorial video below on how to install software.

In this video you see how easy it is to install some games!

If you ever wondered if it is possible to boot a #hpux #b2000 #parisc system from an #ide drive:

No no you can't. It seems like it can for an annoyingly long time, but no, only from an IDE CDROM drive, and only only if it set to master on the bus.

Update! The HP9000/712‘s Power Supply Unit had an error in the IC STR80154A that is responsible for doubling 115V to 230V. It was latched up in doubling mode, causing a short circuit.

👀 Now the machine is in "Graphics Error" mode (flashing power LED). Screen says out of range (not sure if true or it just doesn't like 75Hz). Does anyone know in which actual situations the LED flashing happens and when not?

Oooh! MAE on a PrecisionBook!

Finally HP 9000 owner 😎 It’s the model 712 #pizzabox. Lets see if I can make this baby shine again! #parisc #hppa #hp9000 #risc #unix

NeXTSTEP on a 712/100XC is quite fast. For some special video modes of the HP 712/715, NeXTSTEP provided specific support, e.g. the 4096-color-virtual-million-color-modes.

I’m going to visit my parents next week, and this would be a good opportunity for me to bring my 715/50 back with me, so I could hopefully fix the power supply.

But while the machine itself wouldn’t be too big or too heavy to take it on the train, its original box is about twice its size :-(

Hey #HP, #PARISC and all #retrocomputing friends, could anyone check the wiring of the elusive HP A4022-62003 cable ?

This is the short cable that connects the HP-HIL and PS/2 adapter box (A4022-62005) to the 10 pin modular connector on some HP 715 workstations.

Is it straight through ?

Update: thanks to @andreasbombe we have the wiring. Thanks to everyone who helped!

Regrettably, the Enter museum has many more SGI than HP workstations on display (sure, they do look nice!). I just wanted to write that they have at least representatives of all case types that I’ve used—but in fact, I’ve also used J class and the later B class machines.

Expect some more #HP #parisc shenanigans in the coming weeks!

Does anyone recall the power shift that the HP 9000 Series 700 represented upon release?

LET'S RAP ABOUT IT.

"You want power, you want speed.
The 700 Series is what you need.
PA-RISC has set the pace...
Hewlett Packard now leads the race...

The Series 700 is the name
Leaders in the work-station game
720, 730, 750 too
Supercharging all you ever need to do..."

I bought the C200 used in 2002 or so, but when it came out in 1997, the base model set you back DEM 30,242 or CHF 24,356. #PARISC #HPUX #Retrocomputing
