No, the 930 actually was the very first released PA RISC HP 3000.  It
wasn't much of an offering given how many Series 70 customers at the time
were screaming for additional processing power.  It was a stop-gap
only.  The 930's were deftly replaced by the 950's within a few months of
release of the 930's.

The 935 didn't come until quite a bit later as an upgrade to the 925.  The
949 followed as an upgrade to the 935.
