Yes.

AFAIK, the firmware should be 100% identical. The only diference I'm aware of
is the model string and the OS-license info in stable storage.
And, of course, you're giving up a lot more turning an HP 3000 into a Linux
box than you are when turning an HP 9000 into a Linux box :)
Seriously, if he has a 947RX, he might be able to resell it.
As far as selling a 922? It's a very old HP 3000, and has little or no
market value :(
(By "little or no", I mean: you'll be lucky to sell it for $50.)
