It's PA-RISC 1.1a, a PA7000 processor like the 705/710/720/750 rather than the PA7100LC as the 712/715/etc machines have. We have docs on the 7100 and 7300 CPUs on the website, but no docs on the 7000. I suspect that getting documentation on this CPU will be low-priority; even lower priority than the HIL keyboard driver :-) So it may work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't. -- Matthew Wilcox "Windows and MacOS are products, contrived by engineers in the service of specific companies.
