 NetBSD/hpcmips brings the
 NetBSD operating system to
 MIPS based Windows CE PDA machines.  Currently, the 
-VR4102, VR4111, VR4121, TX3912, and TX3922 processors are supported.
+Vr4102, Vr4111, Vr4121, Vr4181, TX3912, and TX3922 processors are supported.
 .Pp
 The port name "hpcmips" comes from the name for some of the hardware
 that NetBSD/hpcmips runs on: MIPS based systems in Microsoft's
 H/PC (Handheld PC) form factor.
+The palm sized units are also supported, but lack an input method.
