Well, I know that the HP's run off of PA-RISCs, and that Phillips Velos are
SGI's. Also, theo ther processor support isn't in H/PC's, and it probably
won't be. x86's used in the Elan SC400 based devices, I know that they're
some mapping hanheld that uses that. PPC, and so forth will probably show
up in the Jupiter-class 2Lb devices.
    Ciao,

Tim
