“HP-UX started earlier than 1986 on their hp9000/500 family, with the HP Focus CPU, it was a multi CPU system, up to 7 CPUs in one box. Then came the HP9000/300 family, these where workstations, also running HP-UX. These where built on the Motorola 680X0 CPU. After that HP introduced the HP9000/400 family also called Apollo, since they merged with them. At this time the PA-RISC based HP-UX came along. The 300 and 400 family was supported up to HP-UX 9.10, this included some of the new things in HP-UX 10.X.” —Erkki

“Digital UNIX continues to dominate the 64-bit arena, leaving HP-UX and IRIX to contest the second position, followed closely by AIX. Solaris and NT trail significantly behind. HP, having progressed about halfway through its hardware transition to 64-bits, also offering good backwards compatibility for 32-bit applications.” —D.H. Brown Associates
