This doesn't seem *terribly* useful in its current form ... and of course there are some mistakes.  It might help if I saw what the other entries look like,
but it might make more sense to say something like:

+ 10. PA-RISC
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
+	705, 710, 720, 730, 750
+	712, 715, 725, 735, 755
+	B, C, J class workstations
+	D, K, R, A, L, N class servers and rpXXXX servers
+	T and V class servers are not supported
+	Superdome will need some additional work.

S390 and PA-RISC also support both 32 and 64 bit.
I'd leave off the 'w/o MMU' tag from M68k since both are supported.

conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
