If I remember correctly, it was a custom operating system with some degree of compatibility to HP-UX (the system had PA-RISC CPUs) and could run program binaries developed on HP-UX. With respect to the hardware horsepower, this machine (taken into service April 1996) was equivalent to a HP 9000/712 in raw CPU speed. [All this knowledge is from end of 1996, so things may have changed there.] You can look around at Stratus's web site <http://www.stratus.co/>, but I don't which type the machine was I described.
