Did the PA-RISC shops run their old PA-RISC code with the Aries emulator?

One of the selling points for HP users was running old code via dynamic translation and x86 would just work on the hardware directly.

Another fun fact I remember from working at HP was that later PA-RISC chips were fabbed at Intel because the HP-Intel agreement had Intel fabbing a certain amount of chips and since Merced was running behind... Intel-fabbed PA-RISC chips!

I didn't personally know of anyone using Aries in anger (production), but it looked like a neat trick.
