I have a couple of PA-RISC based HP/Agilent V743/64 (E1497A) and V743/100 (E1498A) single-slot, C-size VXI embedded computers. You can run standard HP-UX on them and control VXI instrument modules installed in the same VXI mainframe. I also have a couple of 68000 based HP/Agilent E1406A VXI GPIB Command Modules, which provide a GPIB controller interface to VXI instrument modules installed in the same VXI mainframe. The versions I have can also run Instrument Basic on the E1406A as a standalone controller with a terminal interface attached to the E1406A serial port. Plus also a couple of X86 based Radisys EPC-5 or EPC-7 VXI CPU modules. I forget what versions those are. I haven't touched those in around 20 years, and forget why I have those.
