I think it is unlikely that V2200, V2250, and V2500 will ever be supported.
I'm not very familiar with PDC on most of these machines, but at least on
Halfdome, you can get a pretty good clue as to what processor to target by
doing "in fru" at the PDC BCH menu:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > in fru
CELL 0 CPU FRU INFORMATION:
Cab/
Slot/ Part Serial Date Art Scan FRU

Rev 2.2
Maybe a pointer to similar functionality in other firmware would be useful
and reduce the dependence on the lists of machines.
