Helge :
Given that I have three HP Integrity Superdome ( black things )
laying about in my life do you know of any way to pull a single CPU
module ( shiney steel thing with a handle ) out of the HP refrigerator
and use it or am I trapped with the massive power requirements of the
whole black box? Or is there some minimal PA-RISC hardware you could
suggest that would run the latest kernel and some userland?
I suspect removing unused bits might be a better approach. However,
Superdome is different
in some aspects. I know Helge would love to get his hands on one to test.
The c8000, rp3410 and rp3440 are good choices to run PA-RISC linux. They
can still be found on ebay:

Thing of beauty. I do see bare C8000 motherboards on ebay but no clue
what other bits are needed to get them workable. Whereas the superdomes
were rolled into the warehouse directly from a datacenter.
So for these monstrous superdomes in my warehouse I know that it is
trivial for me to set up some system to ssh into and then get a serial
connection to the superdome. What is seriously non-trivial and hellish
expensive is the power supply for these monsters. drat. :-\
