2 Announcements MPE/iX Release 6.5 PowerPatch 6 MPE/iX and the e3000 have been dutifully serving HP customers for nearly 30 years. On November 14th, 2001 HP announced the end of sales for the HP e3000 and MPE/iX. HP realizes that customers are planning their migration away from the e3000 and MPE/iX.
