HP UX V 8.0

[alex sandro neves]

My friends good night, I need very urgently dowload HP UX 8.0 V, I'm not able to find for download.

[Patrick Wallek]

As far as I know you will NOT find it.

HP-UX version 8.0 has been OUT OF SUPPORT for a VERY LONG TIME (maybe 20 years??).

Only recently has HP started making some versions of HP-UX available, but those are only the most current SUPPORTED versions.

[melvyn burnard]

You ARE joking, aren't you?
HP-UX 8.x was releaed way back around 1990 or something like that. It has been out of support for more than a deacde!.
And there has never been a downloadable version of HP-UX

[alex sandro neves]

My friends, unfortunately I'm not kidding, here in Brazil we have a device that runs on HP UX 8.0,
I ask you this software or impossible.

[Patrick Wallek]

Unless you are lucky and find someone with the install media, which was probably tapes, **MAYBE** CDs, I would say: impossible.

[OldSchool]

The problem you face is that it simply isn't available "for download" and never was.

HP-UX 8.0 was out of support by the time I first saw an HP-UX box (1995 - 9.02).

Whatever is running on that box, it should have been replaced several times over by now, in order to be on supported hardware and a supported OS.

I fear you are now tragically out of luck, and whatever issue you are facing that requires this, you will not be able to recover from

[alex sandro neves]

My friends, thank you for any information, as I said I lay in Unix, by my understanding will be impossible to get this system.!

Again thank you for any information.

OpenVMS 8.0 2003

You sure you don't mean VMS?

Considering that VMS V8.0 was not released
generally to customers, it seems a pretty
unlikely mistake to make. (For most people,
that is.)

Hey,

you might find NetBSD a well suited current OS for the kind of hardware anything that 8.x actually worked on.

[alex sandro neves]

My friend, yes I need the HP UX V. 8.0, model 1991, Infelizment reaching the conclusion that was not found.

[Dennis Handly]

>we have a device that runs on HP-UX 8.0,

What type of computer was this?
If not a computer per se, perhaps Agilent may know?

[Olivier Masse]

Honestly, I doubt anyone will be able to help you getting 8.0.

If you're talking here about an old workstation that runs a manufacturing device on the shop floor, better call its vendor, assuming they're still there, to get an upgrade done.

Good afternoon, you can give more informations about this device

My friend, good afternoon, my need would be for the factory floor, put the manufacturer in Germany do not provide more guarantees or support.

[OldSchool]

"My friend, good afternoon, my need would be for the factory floor, put the manufacturer in Germany do not provide more guarantees or support."

yeah, but do they have a modern (comparable) replacement)?

At this point, you're going to need new hardware AND software. You're not talking about support....you need to replace it with something that will do the same job.

[Michael Steele_2]

I mean really, this is not the kind of thing that you ignore and forget about for two decades. Wake up ten years later like Rumplestilskin and freak out because the whole world is different, and your still living on a 8 bit Motorola CPU.

[Dennis Handly]

>you can give more informations about this device?

I was asking you what the device was.

[OldSchool]

hmm....sounds like it *might* be some kind of Seimen's controller, running on 705/710/720...which would make it 8.05 and very early PA-RISC.

in any event, you might see if the OEM makes a replacement / upgrade controller. If you can't find a replacement, you could wind up replacing not on the controller, but potentially whatever it *controlled* as well.

[melvyn burnard]

You really need to accept that you have ancient hardware and Operating System version.

[Jean-Luc Oudart]

I have to admit I ve never seen HPUX v8.
My 1st encounter was with 9.x

This version is quite old :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX
and was probably on a cpu prior to PA (ie motorola)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9000

Furthermore, would this be Y2K compliant ???

[melvyn burnard]

It was NOT y2k compliant, but could have been on a PA-RISC workstation or a Motorola workstation, neither of which will be supported by now

A "helpful" advice stream which never seems
to run dry.

Oh that's rich.
