I am at point to buy an Stfamily computer system. Is there a way (eg by reading 
one or another memory location or whatever) to find out what the revision level
and the TOS software version are? Could anybody propose a small basic program
to get these figures, that I can use while testing one in a store?

The next question of course is which revision level and which TOS version are
the most recent ones? Please specify your system type as well (ST520, ST520+,
or ST1040). (BTW, Is the 520ST+ (520model with 1Meg memory) only being sold in
Europe?)
