I have decided to finally let go of my trusty old HP PA-RISC 715/64 workstation. It has 128MB RAM, a DAT tape drive, and a single (noisy!) Fujitsu 1GB HDD and another (empty) Seagate 1GB HDD. Comes with a dongle/adapter for PS/2 keyboard/mouse connection, but without keyboard/mouse.
It currently has a full NeXTSTEP 3.3 with all patches and lots of additional software installed.
Includes the NeXTSTEP installation media (user/devel) and also the original HP-UX 10.20 CD-ROMs.
Not sure what price to ask for it. The prices asked on ebay appear to be ridiculous and don't help for proper orientation. So we'd have to find a sane middleground without trying to rip off each other.
The machine is currently located in Barcelona/Spain in Europe. For obvious reasons shipping to the US is currently not possible. This will only be shipped within Europe at the buyers expense. Personal delivery/handover preferred, if possible.
Please contact me privately for more details if interested.

Hi I won't be buying it as I don't have the money at the moment sadly. Is 128MB RAM the max configuration? Best of the luck on the sale and I hope the buyer uses it, instead of have them in storage like my Amigas :(. What other software does it come with i.e CAD?

According to www.openpa.net/systems/hp-9000_715.html (
https://www.openpa.net/systems/hp-9000_715.html) the maximum RAM supported on a 715/64 is 256MB.
For HP-UX, there is no specific other software coming with it. There is no CAD application. The installed NeXTSTEP 3.3 has lots of addtional freeware/abandonware installed, e.g., the Lighhouse Suite, Frame Maker, Word Perfect, Latin Byrd, and lots more.
