- You can use the same memory and disks; the motherboard comes with
- an additional 16 meg on it, also. The upgrade replaces both the
- CPU board and the I/O board, so the resulting I/O layout is the
- same as a "real" 735 (it has the audio I/O and fast/wide SCSI
- connections). You will need HP-UX 9.01.
-
- Those of you with 720s will want to know that you must have the
- optional EISA slot upgrade installed to support the 735 upgrade.
