The V2200 has different memory hardware and a different means for coherent semaphores. My biggest mistake was to think that we can go by the cpu version. There will have to be another way found. HP-UX uses an external library for semaphores to get it correct, at least sometimes. The S... is getting deep. What can be demonstrated at this moment is: PA8500 - works (?) PA8600 - broke PA8700 - works PA8800 - ??? PA8900 - broke (?) The lack of documentation that would tell us why does not mean we have given up though.
