#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.

#RISCV #HPPA #PARISC

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!

The #hp9000 b2000 #parisc system with #hpux

The #retrocomputer with a heart that loves you back.

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?

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

#WindowsNT and #NetWare on #PARISC, and a #HPUX port to #x86

Still periodically amazed that the good people of #PariscLinux still work on that port, and even provide regular news updates on the wiki:

The #HP #Visualize B132L+, however, still has a functional #OpenBSD 5.5 :shibasmile:

Firing up the old #hppa #parisc machines this morning.

The Debian install I apparently did the last time on the #HP #Visualize B180L is broken (kernel panic at boot), guess I now have one more thing to do this winter :shibasmug:
