Displaying System Information

The Forth Monitor provides several commands to display system information. These commands, listed in the following table, let you display the system banner, the Ethernet address for the Ethernet controller, the contents of the ID PROM, and the version number of the OpenBoot firmware. (The ID PROM contains information specific to each machine, including the serial number, date of manufacture, and Ethernet address assigned to the machine.)
