Hi fellow listers,

Is it possible to use PaRisc on HP3000 model 937RX. This machine is a good 
old MPE/iX wich I want to use for testing PaRisc0Linux.

TIA,

As far as I can tell, the closest thing we have in the hwdb right now is
the F10: http://hwdb.parisc-linux.org/view.php3?type=machine&name=F10

This class of machine is full of undocumented devices including the
console, network and scsi.  It will be an awful lot of work to make this
class of machine any use.

Sorry, it's not supported by the current port.  It's the same
hardware as the HP 9000s of the F/G/H x0 series.  The I/O is a little
bit different, and HP hasn't release documentation for it (IIRC).

However, if you want to get rid of it, I saw a post from a user in
Poland last week, asking for an HP 3000 for their personal use.
