Here's one patch to your SGML for Algorithmics' boards:

! <sect2>Algorithmics P-4032, P-5064, P-6032<p>
! Algorithmics (<url url="http://www.algor.co.uk/";>) make a series of
! single-board computers for MIPS prototyping, and maintain Linux kernels
! for all of them:
! <itemize>
! <item>P-6032 is a new board for CPUs with 32-bit buses (QED
! RM5231, NEC Vr43x0, NEC Vr5432, IDT 64x74)
! <item>P-4032 is an older board obsoleted by P-6032.
! <item>P-5064 is for CPUs with 64-bit buses, notably QED's RM70xx
! and RM52xx series.
! </itemize>
! All the boards have common I/O plus ethernet and disk interfaces
! onboard, with spare PCI slots for adding different controllers.
! They're highly configurable, so will run with either byte order.
! All are suitable targets for 64-bit kernels, but (so far) all the
! Linux work we've done has been using 32-bit code.
!
! They're available, supported and documented with PDF manuals
! available online, like
! <url url="http://www.algor.co.uk/ftp/pub/doc/p6032-user.pdf";>
! for the P-6032.
!
! At the time of writing (November 2000) we are using a 2.2.x
! kernel, and we're sharing kernel code with the ports being done by
! people from MIPS Technologies Inc (<url url="http://www.mips.com";>).
! Algorithmics wrote the floating point trap handler and emulator used
! in this kernel - essential for MIPS CPUs to run floating point
! operations reliably and correctly.
!
! Algorithmics' kernels and a link to the MIPS userland can be found
! from a jump page at
! <url url="http://www.algor.co.uk/algor/info/linux.html";>

! You can contact us at <htmlurl url="mailto:ask@algor.co.uk";
