Does anybody know what is the secret trick for finding out what version
of the ROM you are running?  Someone told me that there's an instruction
that can be typed at the interrupt prompt to find out, but he didn't know
what it was.

We have MacEnvy, which is supposed to tell us this information, but the
version we have (1.0d8) gives the same ROM data for an old Mac II (1987) 
and a IIx. Is there a newer version?

Thanks in advance.
