Last update for couple of days, checked the software and we seem to be missing most packages. I have now downloaded the most recent software release so let's see if we can upgrade.
Problem with upgrading is, you need a SCSI CD-Rom drive
Image created, no lost or bad blocks, we have an image we can always recover now
I love obscure ISA's and while I still hunt for a sane priced #SPARC machine, my HP c8000 #HPUX #PARISC #Unix workstation will keep me sane and busy, not sure how much I will get from this book but it's to much fun.
“The mass extinction of UNIX workstations – OSnews”
https://www.osnews.com/story/135605/the-mass-extinction-of-unix-workstations/
As a kid i dreamed of ALL THE tech and what could be. New stuff always excited me but these days it's just dire, the only thing in recent years that brought back some joy was #VR and #RISC_V but everything else coming out, I just wonder how big tech will use it to fuck us up even more...
And as kid I would have also never dreamed that things like a 21 years old #HPUX #Unix workstation would help me stay sane and fill me with true wonder instead.
Progress

I'm getting pretty close to finishing my first video on the ubiquity of win16 APIs in 90s computing.
The main bit of research that I'm having a little trouble with is the exact pricing for the SDKs for #solaris, #aix, and #hpux from the mid 90s
Does anyone have a link, or receipts, of purchases, catalogues, etc of things like that?
