Supposedly IA-64 will also be able to run PA-RISC code natively, that is
why in theory they are phasing out PA-RISC. So I dunno if HP-sUX can run
off the box in the IA-64. Which BTW must be the most delayed commercial
product ever, I still have magazines that claimed that the chip was
expected in late '97!!! So this is what... 5 yrs late?
