This is a bug which we fixed earlier this afternoon (that should have been `%20' instead of the space character). There are still pending changes to the hw database that will make it closer to being correct. At least the PA8000/8200/8500 chips should be correct (there may be omissions, but there should not be incorrect chips in those categories). > Is a PA7000 not a PA-RISC chip? Yes, it is. To complicate matters, there are PA7000 CPUs which implement the PA1.0 architecture (PCX) and PA7000 CPUs which implement the PA1.1 architecture (PCX-S). The intention is to support the latter and not the former. > Showing my ignorance, Less than a year ago, I didn't know the difference between a PA1.0 and PA1.1 machine :-)
