During the early 1990s, so-called “pizzabox” workstations were very popular. Unix workstations had usually been bulky and cumbersome affairs since the 1980s, so smaller, desktop-compatible boxes were a welcome change. HP produced two PA-RISC pizzaboxes in its lineup: HP 9000 705/710 and the ever popular HP 9000 712. HP 9000 705/710 were the first small PA-RISC workstations, released in 1992. They used 32-bit PA-7000 PA-RISC processors and used a simplified version of the “Snakes” ASP ...| OpenPA.net
