Yes. It was originally OSF/1 (HP and IBM had participated in OSF, but dropped out before shipping their own implementations (they bailed after the looming Sun/AT&T alliance fell apart)). DEC later renamed it Digital UNIX, then marketing guys decided it should be called Tru64 UNIX right before the Compaq buyout.

Indeed they did, you can see that here. Chapter 2 lists even the porting schedule to Itanium!

Well, the fact that the Compaq homepage only redirects to HP would be a biggie, I would think!

Theyr's Gone. HP dropped the last remnant of their calculator organization on November 9, 2001 [hpcalc.org].
In some ways, thats a distortion. The ACO, according to those worked there, was actually not involved in calculator design when they were killed off, but was working on some kind of handheld PDA-type device which was deemed redundant when they decided to cut back. It was noted at the time that HP had frozen new calculator design for a span of several years before. There's been no indication that production of current models will cease.

We invented the DLT. And the VT100-terminal.
Try this and get some real use out of it.

As far as what will happen with the joranda hpc's, I'm trying to find out... but everything done so far is directed toward the $ so I'm not hopeful.
