That's a good idea.  Different generations of machines have different
commands to list the type and revisions of chips/devices installed.
But it's only two or three commands need to be listed.

For newer machines, "in io" at "Main Menu" prompt will list all IO devices.
See "info" menu for more commands. I forgot what the equivalent cmd
was for older machines (eg 712 or 715).
