It is not IBM-compatible.  I understand there's a piece of software
kicking around that allows it to run some IBM software, but I'm not
sure how complete it is.  If you have CompuServe access, the HP forum
is a good place to ask.

What do you need it to do?  It does run basic software such as
WordStar, Lotus 1-2-3, etc.  And it's a lovely terminal emulation
machine.
