While many PCI cards won't work in PARISC systems, some do including many
of those sold by HP. For generic PCI support, AFAIK, only PCI-PCI bridge
support is broken and I've not tested those in a while. I have two systems
setup in Cupertino Test Ring which each have one add-on card with PCI-PCI
bridge (rio and ios).
