image               =  image
manufacturer        =    
architecture        =  if part of a larger architecture (Like, say, as the PDP-11/40 is to the PDP-11), write that here
year announced      = 
year design started = 
year first shipped  = 
year introduced     = 
year discontinued   = 
form factor         =  mini, micro, etc.
word size           =  word size of the machine (Apple II = 8, PDP-8 = 12, etc.)
physical address    =  size of the physical address space
virtual address     =  size of the virtual address space
