I think this should be a PA-RISC > machine. According to the docs: http://www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc/hp9000_models.html the 922 is the same physical machine as the 822. As such, it's too old for it to be worth supporting. the official statement 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 should perhaps update this to reflect the particular model numbers. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
