The 705 has a PA-7000 cpu clocked at 33MHz. You can run HPUX 8.07-9.07
through 10.01-10.20 in it. There were several versions of the 705
depending on the graphics/monitor:

A2289A ?Model 705 Grayscale DeskTop 2.0 8.07-9.07 .10.01-10.20 .
A2648A ?Model 705 Color 1024,16-inch DeskTop 2.0 8.07-9.07 .10.01-10.20 .
A2648B ?Model 705 Color 1024,16-inch DeskTop 2.0 8.07-9.07 .10.01-10.20 .
A2649A ?Model 705 Color 1280,19-inch DeskTop 2.0 8.07-9.07 .10.01-10.20 .
A2649B ?Model 705 Color 1280,19-inch DeskTop 2.0 8.07-9.07 .10.01-10.20 .
A2649C ?Model 705 Color 1280,19-inch DeskTop 2.0 8.07-9.07 .10.01-10.20 .

or it could be an upgrade:

First check if your model is a grayscale or color one; then, make sure
that your monitor is set to sync on green. Even though it has a D sub 15
connector, I don't think that it provides separate sync signals.

It is mentioned in the 15MB+ hardware compatibility guide; search
for it in the HP site. The file name is hcl.pdf .
