$DAYJOB is still running theirs... I wonder how long it will take them to notice...

Archive, archive, archive. Publish good and complete copies of stuff for historical purposes.

Can it be considered abandonware now? I’d like to run it under emulation.

Nobody ever made an emulator for itanium, you'd have to run the pa-risc version.

I wouldn't mind it that much.

As for the emulated Itanic, should we wait a bit until CPUs get faster or do we think they are good enough at this point?

Couldn't say, I know people have tried, but I don't recall them being good enough to be able to run hpux or the itanium version of xp.

Is it good enough to run a version of Linux relying on virtio for mostly everything?

PA-RISC was a beautiful architecture.

(Not that you could tell, from the OS command line.)
