Unhappy Running HP-UX 10.20 on Modern Machine


I have an old software application (its written in C and Ada) installed on 10 x HP 715 machines running HP-UX 10.20.
This system has been running quite happily for 20 years (wow, you may say!), and (partly because it never goes wrong) there has never been any budget to upgrade it.
It has now reached the stage where it is only required for another 2 or 3 years, but I am finding it increasingly difficult to find second hand bits to keep the workstations running.
I know its a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any current (ish) machines which would be able to run this software? Or even any way of running in a virtual machine.
I tried to port it to Linux but failed.
(I can get a bit of budget for hardware but not for any software (re)development).

HP UX 10.20 will only run on HP PA-RISC hardware. You could probably ask your HP representative if they have any compatibility layers.
