[SPARCbook] FAQ additions....

[Ken Hansen]

I think Hugo feels that a pointer to the few websites he lists that do
contain
such info (the "unofficial" web site he mentions at the end of the FAQ has a
good accounting of the various models) is adequate.

I agree.

His FAQ is designed to fill holes/gaps in coverage elsewhere - not to take
info
from everywhere and collect it all in one place.

That's my impression anyway, and it seems right to me...
