There are significant differences in the I/O architecture between the
700 series and the 800 series. That was the reason for the (bad)
decision to separate the 700 and 800 kernels when the 700s were
being developed. (This separation caused a lot of problems.) The
kernels were brought back together (as of HP-UX 11.0, IIRC).
Note: I've seen recent (last week) postings on comp.sys.hp.hpux for
low-end HP 9000/700 machines for $50, including shipping. These
machine come with no disk and no RAM:
