The HP 9000/710 is a first generation HPPA system featuring a 50MHz
PA-7000 processor. It can run HPUX 8.05 to 10.2 . It won't run
Linux when it is available (needs at least a PA-7100 processor).
You need an HP-HIL keyboard and mouse. The boot HD's size can be at
least 2GB with HPUX 10.2 AFAIK; the original configurations sold by
HP are shown below:

Does it have a framebuffer? What are the model numbers on it? It might be
that 710 FB's still use the 60Hz refresh rate of earlier series 400 systems.
How much RAM does it have? Contact me off the list for info on
bootable install media.
