platform specs (was: PReP spec)

[Rick Kwan]

Thanks to Ken Robert's reply to my PReP spec query, I found the
PowerPC FAQ, dated 27 February 1997 at
    http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/library/ppc_faq/ppc_faq.html
and from there, found my way to
    ftp://ftp.austin.ibm.com/pub/technology/spec
In this FTP site, the PReP documents are dated Oct 28, 1994, but
there is a "chrp" directory there with documents dated Nov 20, 1995
thru Oct 2, 1996.

In my sporadic reading, it does indeed appear that CHRP has
superceded PReP.  However, the above CHRP specs seem either pretty
old or pretty stable.  Or am I looking in the wrong place?

>From the FAQ, I also made the journey to Yellowknife, at
    http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/teksupport/refdesigns/yk.html
The design manual is dated 98 Feb 20, and clearly states that it
is a PowerPC/CHRP reference design.

A list of current CHRP machines would indeed be interesting,
if for nothing else, to show the breadth and flexibility of the
architecture.  (Or lack thereof.)
