What was the highest HP-UX version that the 300-series could handle? Was it
around 7.0 or 8.0? I've got a 9000/375 with 7.(mumble) and am curious.
The 9000/332's at my old job seem to handle the Y2K thing okay according to
my wife who still works with them there. Their application is a fixed
machine control/data crunching job running under Workstation Pascal 3.2
(not HP-UX) so dates are somewhat a non-issue anyway.
BTW, anybody got a WS Pascal 3.2 distribution and manuals available?
Regards, Chris
