With this list, users will know what commands to do to get the cpu type... For the B132L, I need to do in cr. And for 712, "in" do not give you the model of the cpu :( Perhaps, we could a more general text saying: 1- You have to enter the information menu by "in" (it seems to be general to all boxes) 2- Here you need to find the command to get the revisions of your chip/device. This must look like PAXXX0. For example this command is cr for B132 and io for newer machines. btw, we could add the complete list of the commands in the HOWTO. This is a proposition. Tell me what you think of it. Thomas. ESIEE Team > > Main Menu: Enter command or menu > in fru > > For newer machines, "in io" at "Main Menu" prompt will list all IO devices.
