Here are photos of my HP 9000 c110 running HPUX 11
With Netscape and Microsoft I.E. and Outlook.
It plays DOOM too.

That's thing's sexier than chocolate. However, as far as I can find, the C series didn't have a C30 model. C300 maybe?

Edit:
Hmm, C300 was a 68k based computer. Yours does appear to be a C chassis unit, though. PA-RISC 64 bit?

Your right, I think it is a C110

I liked those CPU coolers. I don't know if they're better than traditional ones, but they look great!

Yeah, UNIX computers are usually high quality components. Built for 24/7/365 day operations.

I picked up one of these a while ago. As far as I can tell it has 128MB of RAM installed and what I think is an HCRX-24Z card (the one with the hardware Z-buffer). It seems like an interesting machine but I was surprised how little information is out there. It's got an old install of HPUX 11.11 on it but it takes over 30 minutes to boot... Seems it is a bit much for the poor thing. I may try to track down install media for something older like 10.20 but it seems very hard to find.

Do you know of any software resources for these? I don't see anything except for modern HPUX versions, and once I get it all set up it's going to be kinda sad if I'm stuck with the default install and nothing else.

Yes, There is HPUX version 9x which will boot faster and uses less resources. 10.20 is good too. HPUX 11 was built for the internet for what I recall. There use to allot of resources available for HPUX binaries but I have not checked lately.
I think I have a C110 or C130. I also had a B-132 and a pizza box model
which I can't recall the model number but they ran HPUX 10.20 fine.

Nice box. Only handicap of the C110 is the use of HVD SCSI drives which allmost cannot be found anywhere. For this reason I gave away my C110, but kept 712, 715, B180, C200, C360, and C3700. But kept the J210 which is a HVD SCSI box as well but with dual PARISC it is much rarer than a C-class.

I had purchased a bunch of drives years ago so I don't have to worry about that.
I put the HP 9000 away in my garage, Haven't seen it in a while.

I am not sure but this one worked with standard SCSI drives.

128Mb is really low for HP UX 11,
Adding a few MBytes will accelerate it greatly

Yes, we ran HPUX 11 on B132’s at work.
I think this C110 is better suited for HPUX 10.20.
But It ran fine on HPUX 11.
I don’t remember what speed CPU it had.
I picked this one up on eBay back in 2005 for cheap from a computer liquidator.
I put a 9gb SCSI drive in it and more ram.
So I might have had 256mb of ram or more.

I am not sure if this is a C110 or C130 or C200 or C230 ?
I don’t remember and I have it stored in my garage.
