The HP 9836  is a 68000 based workstation.  HP sells three separate
Operating Systems for the machine:
	* A BASIC OS (affectionately called 'Rocky Mountain BASIC')
	* A PASCAL OS (like UCSD PASCAL but blazingly fast)
	* HP-UX (essentially AT+T UN*X)

I first used the 9836 almost 4 years ago.  HP has recently introduced
it's series 300 computers designed to replace the series 200 (of which
the 9836 is a member, along with a 9816, 9920...).

I have used the HP-UX OS extensively in my job and found it easily
supported a small group of active users, (less than 8).

P.S. I am not trying to sell anybody anything.  I am only replying
with the most general facts.  Many people from HP read these notes and
I trust they will try to answer specific questions when appropriate.
