When I was working at Aldrich Chemical Co in Milwaukee, we had HPO5 running on a
3090-150J. I believe it was around 1987. Good times.

Pre-XA architecture, circa 1989 or so.
Of course the obvious question is one of, "What system was this HP05
running on?".
Can't say who, but the hardware was a real 3090-400J. They had a deal with IBM
for $$$ to supply enough spare parts to rebuild the system from the concrete up
if necessary until they could get the replacement system certified. They had
two spare machines for parts.
