HP C8000 with HP-UX 10.20
Hi all,
I know that this will sound like from stone age but I am still using couple B180L and B2600 boxes running with HP-UX 10.20 Ace5.
Recently I got perfect condition HP C8000 workstation and just wondering if I can run it with 10.20?
All specs saying min requirements are 11i, however I am sure I've seen post somewhere before that it is possible to build 10.20 on this machine. Maybe I was dreaming?
Tried to cold install 10.20 and got the following results:
Booting...
HARD Booted.
ISL Revision A.00.38 OCT 26, 1994 (oh god, that's old...)
ISL booting hpux (;0):INSTALL
Then after couple seconds screens refreshed with the following message:
ISL> S/N 113-99006-103 BIOS
and just got ISL console. Unfortunately, I am not experienced enough to benefit from ISL console...
Is it a sign that workstation is not compatible or there is a way which I am not aware of to install 10.20 on C8000?
Any comments appreciated.
Thank you.

Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console channels are created.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels
will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget.
This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like
Win32.
The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels.
NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other
channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical
for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
