The second PA-RISC machine from HP. The HP-UX version is the
HP 9000/850. The MPE (not UNIX) version is the HP 3000/950.
So, if it says 950, it started life as an MPE machine. Note, however,
that the hardware was basically identical. HP-UX would easily boot and
run on the 950. (The opposite wasn't true due to MPE checking to see
if the machine was officially capable of running MPE ... shows that HP
valued MPE more than HP-UX :)

It's a 6.5 MHz machine.
