The HP 3000/928 is a PA-RISC system (48 MHz PA7100LC (PCX-L)),
with HP-PB I/O (2 slots), 64 KB of integrated cache, floating point
co-processor, and a max memory of 512 MB.
It's 100% identical to the HP 9000 E25 (2-slot HP-PB model).
The firmware is 100% identical, AFAIK.
You could probably trade the HP 3000 for an E25 and get money back.
BTW, the "Classic HP 3000" models (those with a two-digit model number)
are 16-bit CISC, not Motorola. All HP 3000s with a 3 digit model
number (e.g., 928) are PA-RISC.
If Linux is ever supported on an HP 9000 E25 (or any E## model), then
it will also run on an HP 3000 9x8 model.
