Okay - is there some short of note on which systems are 32-bit and which
are 64-bit? Something like, "PA7000-series are 32-bit, PA-8000 (up to the
8x00) is 64-bit with 32-bit PDC and PA-8000 (after 8x00) is fully 64-bit".
I just picked up a C180 and have a line on a C240 and was beginning to
wonder the same things...
