Andrew,

   The PA7000 is indeed a PA-RISC microprocessor, a 32biter.  The series
that begin with 8 (PA8n00) are the 64bit types.

Regards,

First of all, thanks to two Robs (Womack and Hoppe), Willy and Grant for
their feedback.  With any luck I'll be able to talk 'em into a cheap deal -
especially seeing as it's costing them a fair whack per month for floor
space
rental in a data centre, even though it's switched off ...

I'm a bit confused by this.  I thought the HP 375 was a PA-RISC thingy.
Certainly there have been numerous people on this list talking about getting
their 315's or whatever to boot the parisc-linux kernel.

Had me a look at the HW database, and it says the 375 carries a 'PA7000'
processor.  (As a side note, the link for this in the database,
"http://216.208.98.4/view.php3?type=cpu&name=PA7000 (PCX-S)", made my proxy
server unhappy.  Dropping the " (PCX-S)" off the end of it helped.)

Is a PA7000 not a PA-RISC chip?

Showing my ignorance,

Andrew.
