Yep.  I knew most of those.  And SPARCs, PPC's, and, if you really want to
go on a limb, anything that runs Linux.
    I was talking about processors, generally associated with UNIX, that
also run Windows CE devices.
    Ciao,

<A processor from a company who's highest-end products are UNIX based, and
<similiar version (IE in the same family, such as Pentium is in the x86
<family).  Most Windows CE devices are based on HP/NEC PA-RISC (IIRC)
<processors, or SGI MIPS processors.

Then Alpha, ARM, PDP-11, VAX, 680xx and sundry others are also since they
all run unix.

careful about retrorevisionist terminology...
