Paul Stay told me about two really useful capabilities that I was previously unaware of: The /bin/hinv program prints out an inventory of what hardware is installed on the machine. For example, my machine says: /bin/hinv 2 16 MHZ IP5 Processors FPU: MIPS R2010A/R3010 VLSI Floating Point Chip Revision: 1.5 CPU: MIPS R2000A/R3000 Processor Chip Revision: 1.6 Data cache size: 64 Kbytes Instruction cache size: 64 Kbytes Main memory size: 16 Mbytes Interphase 4201 4-drive ESDI disk controller 0 ESDI Disk drive: unit 0 on Interphase controller 0 GT Graphic option installed Integral Ethernet controller Integral SCSI controller This information is available to programmers using the getinvent() library call and the header file <sys/invent.h>. Very useful, -Mike
