Units were never sold, but some units had been released to the usual suspects under NDA (PPC folks, reviewers, well-known academics, etc.) for review, feedback and comment, in preparation for launch. Although well-received, the story is that HP concluded somehow it would cut too deeply into HP-97 (a pricier model, likely with a better margin) sales and so decided to cancel the project. As usual for those circumstances, HP asked that all review models out for evaluation be returned, likely in accordance with terms in the NDA/reviewer agreement, and while most were returned and reportedly destroyed, a few were not, and so survive today.
