This dude wrote software and built a card for the Apple II to be controllable by, and act as a glorified I/O processor for, a Raspberry Pi. It's rad AF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbqLEU35d0E SamDabbers fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Sep 26, 2017 |

I had one of these shitboxes: Also sold as HP i2000, 733MHz Itanium. It had some weird EFI/BIOS-implementation that's incompatible with everything. I threw it away this year, should have kept the Smart Array 6400 though.

they're ugly because they are 100% intel engineering samples customers were never meant to see these but the project was delayed so badly intel ended up rebranding them with vendor logos (dell, ibm, sgi, etc) and drop-shipping them to end-users

Edit: I've worked with HP-UX professionally as recently as a few months ago, I can't imagine doing it for fun

Notorious b.s.d. posted:where on earth did you find active hp-ux usage I worked for an antivirus company that among other things makes antivirus for commercial Unix. There's more out there than you might think (banks, etc), though HP is probably the smallest of the remaining Unixes and it is gradually dying off. So not only was I working with HP-UX I was writing new code for it. And yeah, Itaniums were supposed to go mega fast by offloading all the decision making to the compiler. Trouble is the geniuses doing this were apparently hardware guys who thought compilers are magic, which they really are not, and Itaniums also didn't go mega fast. Their one niche was that they were very good at double precision floating point? I think in the early 2000s for a while.

My happiest memory from work is the year I decommissioned and scrapped a whole row of old HP-UX Itanium and Pa-risc racks. Those servers deserved to die, along with the idiot manager who still chose hpux over Linux in 2008 because of "better support" and "higher performance" We still have a couple of rx6600s racked because they are too heavy for anyone to bother throwing them out I guess.
