BTW, I've got a C180 in the same position - I just don't have time to
play with it anymore. It's complete - CD, HD, RAM, etc. and uses PS2
keyboard and mouse (or HIL if you have them). Last time I used it I
updated the Debian on it (pre-3.0 I believe, so still the unstable
branch) and patched the -hppa cvs branch kernel, at which point it
became unhappy and started to kernel panic :-( It probably needs
someone that has time to play with it - probably a wipe and start over.

I *may* still have some CDs for it (Debian HPPA, HPUX 10) but last time
I pulled it out I didn't have any luck finding them...
