HP-UX Version History

[Scott J. Showalter]

Does anyone know if there is a document that outlines the history of HP-UX releases. I am interested to know dates of when ALL of the HP-UX versions where released, including the very first release.

Scott,

I've never seen one that goes that far back. The history I have only goes back to release 9:

This site has been mentioned in the past. It's a great Unix time line.

Look for HP-UX v.1 in the 1986 area. The first "branch" is about 1982ish.

[Ted Buis]

HP-UX first start on a proprietary CISC chip that was 32-bits (HP 500 Series, 520, 540 and later 550). Shortly after this it was also released on HP 300 Series that were Motorola 680x0 based single processor systems. HP-UX on PA-RISC began in 1986 with the release of the Model 840. Why is this important to you?

[Scott J. Showalter]

It's not that it's that important, just something that came up in conversation, and I wanted to know more about it.

I appreciate all the responces.
