The intel datasheet for the DEC21143 lists only Rev IDs > 30 for this 
particular family:

21143-PB,TB,PC,TC - 0x30
21143-PD,TD - x041

but maybe older DEC chips used 0x20 - don't know. The most interesting question 
is
whether ancient OS' like HP-UX or Windows XP would still work with this patch, 
but
i don't have test images at hand right now.
