NeXTSTEP on the HP 712 Part 1: Installation

I have an HP 16702B logic analyzer (wonderful thing), which is really an HP 712 class workstation embedded in a stack of logic analyzer boards. Wonder if this will run on it.

Someone just posted a picture of Doom on one of those (running HP-UX, thought) the other day on Reddit

The question is what it is running now? A minified HP-UX booting a single App, or something else entirely?

It runs HP-UX, and the logic analyzer software is an X11 application. The HP-UX install on the system even starts up a VNC server, running the logic analyzer app, so you can use it over the network!

Yup, it's pretty much a full HP/UX 10.xx install. Which is nice, because you can get access to the LA data and do things like write perl scripts to analyze it.

Yes, you do. Just don't drive up the price on second-hand cards for the rest of us. :-)
