As you probably know, HP-UX 11i v3 and the IPF-based "Integrity" hardware
reach the end of their support lives at the end of this month. All
previous versions of HP-UX and all the PA-RISC hardware have already left
support. There's an overview here:

<https://www.stromasys.com/resources/hp-ux-end-of-support/>

Stromasys are keen to sell their PA-RISC emulation software, but they
don't have an emulator for IPF, and apparently nor does anyone else.

It's deeply unlikely HP are willing to spend the money on code review and
lawyers that would be needed to open-source it.
