   Emulator here: , not to be confused with   
   a version of (obsolete) Android for PCs with the same name. No new   
   hardware since the early 1990s.

   Oracle still say they're supporting Solaris 11.4 with mainstream support   
   until 2031 and offering extended support until 2037, but that's 20 years   
   after the final CPU model, the M8, was released.   
      
   HP-UX support from HPE ends at the end of 2025. The hardware stopped   
   being sold in 2021.

   Seems to be all emulation now.
