*sigh*. This is in the FAQ. Where do we need to put links to the FAQ
to persuade people to read it? Where did you find this mailing list
address, do we need to put a link to the FAQ there?
The answer given in the FAQ is:
The earliest PA-RISC servers have proprietary HP devices attached to
proprietary HP bus architectures. It is unlikely that documentation
on these busses and devices will ever become available, since so few
people are interested in spending any effort finding and releasing the
docs. Machines in this category are the E, F, G, H, I class (aka Nova)
and T500 series (Emerald) machines as well as some earlier, unlettered
servers.

I think the fault lies in the "Contact" page, new (!) URL being:
http://parisc-linux.org/contact.html
"Most questions about the port should be addressed to the developer
mailing list parisc-linux@thepuffingroup.com"
I would suggest this page be changed a bit, like stick the mailing list
down the bottom and change it to a link to the mailing list subscribe
and browse-the-archives page, rather than simply the address of the
list. Also a comment about reading the FAQ. Yes, the FAQ is in the
left-hand side-bar but you can never over-do the help. =)
One of my favourite comments along that line was on the windowmaker.org
home page (sadly it has been removed). It was something like "Please
bear in mind that asking questions on the mailing list that are answered
in the FAQ is NOT A GOOD IDEA." <grin>
The FAQ on parisc-linux.org is also missing the all-important Q/A pair:
Q. I have a question that isn't answered in this FAQ?
A. Please subscribe to the [mailing list] and ask. Politely. Preferably
in English, or (failing that) in a recognisable pidgin. Don't hold back
on the relevant information either. "It won't boot" is not good.
Andrew.
