Is a C200+ currently supported?
I'm tempted to buy a HP C200+ (PA8200/512 Mb/9 Gb/Visualize fx-4).
Jurriaan,
I use a C200+ as my development machine for the parisc-linux port. So yes, I try to keep the C200+ supported. Be forwarned that I am newbie kernel hacker, and sometimes it takes me a long time to find/fix the problems on these machines (ie. the ccio cpio cdrom -> disk HPMC). I have only been using the serial console interface from the C200+ so I'm not sure how well (or if the STI works on this machine). Now that I found/fixed the HPMC I was looking for, I will see if I can give it a whirl with the 0.9.2 installer tonight.
The machine will run fine with 512 MB memory / 9 GB disk. I started using the C200 with 256 MB memory / 4GB disk and it worked great for what I was doing.
Hope this helps!

I'm tempted to buy a HP C200+ (PA8200/512 Mb/9 Gb/Visualize fx-4).
From the website, it would seem that it is, except for the graphics-card (Visualize FX-4) for which there is no framebuffer support.
Does this mean I only get the console (80x25) or is there also X?
In general, does such a machine run linux acceptable (with 512 Mb memory / 9 Gb disk) ?
All (off-list) experiences are very welcome!
Thanks,
