What?! The HP3000 systems are indeed PA-RISC. In fact, while there 
have been 68k HP-UX workstations the HP3000 have always had an
HP-designed architecture, first the 'classic' HP300 architecture
followed by PA-RISC.

As far as the 928LX, it is a PA-7100LC system, but features
HP-PB based I/O. I do not believe that anyone is working on
on this I/O architecture.
