As I recall, csh was not added to Series 200 until the 5.x releases (which
were also the last HP-UX releases for that Series).  The 5.x releases
required an MC68010 processor.  Unless you have a Model 217 (9817A/H), you
would also need a CPU board upgrade to run 5.x.  Although that CPU is still
available (for a few more months), Series 200 HP-UX is no longer orderable.

On the whole, you'll be happier migrating to a Series 300, currently at
HP-UX release 6.5.  You can carry forward all of your I/O cards, and perhaps
the RAM, depending on CPU Model selected.  If your current computer is a
Model 220 (9920U), you can convert it to an I/O expander for the 300.
Although HP doesn't currently have a Series 200-300 trade in program, Series
200s are valued by 3rd-party HP equipment brokers, since they still run the
current versions of stand-alone BASIC and Pascal (not to mention a couple of
3rd-party systems).
