HPUX *never* supported this card on C-class boxes.
See page 157 (pdf page #) of C200 owners manual:
NOTICE: The A4077A Color Graphics Card, A4078A Dual Color Graphics Card,
        A4079B HCRX-8Z graphics adapter, and the A4071B HCRX-24 graphics
        adapter with the A4072A Z Accelerator attached are not supported
        in the Model C160/C180.

getting it working might be quite "challenging". :)

I think I've already taken the torch on enough challenging HP graphics
problems... mumble. I'll pass on this one.
