According to the lead business story in today's New York Times
("Hewlett and Next Hold Talks"), both are quite possible. The article
said that HP and NeXT are looking into letting NeXT use HP's PA-RISC

NeXT. It's unclear from the article where negotiations stand, but it
did say that an announcement could come as soon as this week.
