Trying to figure out whether a model is supported/maybe sometime/never

I know very little about the hp9000 and friends. They ran hpUX and they are physically large for the resources 
inside. That's about it.

I have looked at hppa and hp300 pages and I don't know where I should see the model that a friend has in his 
office.
He is trying to find a suitable boat on which to use it as an anchor and I thought thet it might just run OpenBSD.

It does have hp9000 on the front but his description was that it is:
D230
PA7200LC
128 RAM
4G DAT
2X 4GB HDD
100 BaseT card

Delivered May 97
(was $43K AUD)

Does that mean anything to categorize it?

Just looking at it I could easily imagine that it could exceed 25kg but it isn't where I coulld easily pick it up to 
check.

Should I get it or forget it? (I am a hardware guy so collectables tend to cluster around and I have nothing like this)

Thanks,
Rod.
PS I didn't figure it was worth bothering the list with a subscription for what may be a one-off so please CC me.
