The whole point of linux is to use what's cheap and available.
I would rather say:
	It is unlikely anyone *in HP* will ever *get paid for* writing
	Linux drivers for CIO or NIO cards.

However, if documentation isn't publicly available, it would be
pretty "challenging" for someone outside HP to do anything with HP-PB.
And someone in HP might actually be masochistic enough to make
parisc-linux boot/scan on NIO bus machines. ;^)
