[HPADM] Running old Unix on new workstation

 Hello,

 
My question is:
 
I have an old HP9000 system running UNIX 9 (PA-RISC based hardware)
I need to upgrade the hardware, and I am thinking about a B2600 which has a
similar architecture(I think), but newer.
Do you know if it is possible to run UNIX 9 on such a new system? Or perhaps
on an other new system?
I know it is a bit of an ackward question, but HP will definatelly say it is
not possible so I have to find other ways to
find out if it is possible. I don't want to upgrade the UNIX version,
because I know then that the applications running
on the system will not work anymore.
 
If hope anyone could help me here.
 
Thanks in advance...
 
Alex. ( <mailto:alex.elandt@nl.yokogawa.com> alex.elandt@nl.yokogawa.com)
