The collection also has a pair of HP 9000 C100 workstations, one of which is shown here, which were acquired from the University of Wisconsin surplus program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After extending the Apollo workstations based on the Motorola 68K family up through the HP\/Apollo 425t, HP moved on to workstations based on the PA-RISC architecture: the HP 9000 series 700, 800 and C series workstations and servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wisconsin DOT installed and used a number of those for several years, including HP 712 “pizza box” desktops, HP 715 workstations and HP 750 workstations. They also used HP 9000 Itanium-based series servers to run Oracle for a number of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting back to the HP 700 workstations, during the early to mid 1990’s, CEAL was already running on the PC platform, and the HP workstations were mostly used for specialized workstations and to run ESRI ARC\/INFO software. Those applications, too eventually found their way to PCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a while, Wisconsin DOT used HP 715 workstations to support both its Internet web server and its internal intranet web server. The former was eventually migrated to a PC running Linux, and the latter to the Microsoft PC platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For software, I have a number of HP installation disks, but the only thing I have actually run on them to play around with was an early version of Linux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The collection has several workstations which run operating systems which are based on UNIX\u00ae in one form or another. Many of them I had some experience with during my career at Wisconsin DOT. Not shown here are an SGI Indy “pizza box” workstation, an IBM RT PC and a couple of AT&T 3B2-200 computers.
