I am a field System Engineer for the 64000 line, so I have a vested
interest in the direction you go.
The 64000-UX system has all of the things you need, and the prices have 
come down drastically over the last few years. We have a new language
system we call AxLS. This includes an ANSI 'C' compiler which is totally
new and much better than the old compiler. There is a new assembler which
is compatible with the Motorola standard. Shipped with these products are
some conversion programs to ease the transition. These include both 'C'
and assembler converters as well as some tools to allow you to call exis-
ting assembly language code from the new compiler. If you buy the 9000
computer just for S/W development, you can use the High-Speed link to
move the absolute to the 64000 system. You can also convert the 64000
stations to Instrumentation Card Cages for direct use with the 9000. This
allows emulation from your HP-UX terminal or windows or whatever with
neat fetures like the softkeys and "C" source code in your trace listings.

Don't write off the 64000 just because it's old! It's still selling well
and we've developed a good upgrade to HP-UX. Call your local Sales Rep.
or me if you have questions!
