This sounds like a nice system to set up and put to good use.

Oh, yes, Mentor Graphics did these with the early hp 700's; better to
reinstall the OS. I had the boot- hpux - panic - shutdown - reboot
problem too... this can happen in a system that was networked, w/o
enough local space for a kernel core dump and which finds itself suddenly
off the network.

Now, this is an entirely different beast. This is probably a 68040-based
machine. Nice, but slower. Some of these even had a GPIB interface, as
HP was still transitioning from high speed GPIB storage to SCSI. Don't
wipe out any libraries off such a machine!
As for the monitor, 1097's are for later, 700-series machines. Whatever
card you have in the 400t is probably 60Hz. Look at the following;
there may be some info.
