HP documentation woes

(This is just griping so feel free to press 'D')

Every once in a while I fire up google and try to find out something
about HP 9000/500 series. Anyway, today I made two discoveries:

1.) HP doesn't know about HP-UX 5 (or 4)

http://www.software.hp.com/HPUX-RDMP/history/slide1.htm

but there's HP-UX FOCUS newsletter(s)

http://www.software.hp.com/HPUX-RDMP/related/focus/hpfocus.htm

sadly not about the FOCUS cpu.

2.) HP journal has completely disappeared.

www.hp.com/hpj now returns a 404. Gargh, even Digital, the notorious
site "re-organizer" *and* even after being bought by Compaq still
has Digital Technical Journal in html, pdf, ps and text. The links
maybe broken but at least you can still *get* them.

Sorry, I'm just whining as it's too difficult to get any detailed
cpu or instruction set manuals for the FOCUS chip and I'm just
jealous at all the PDP/VAX-people:)
