Chuck,
thank you for your so uaeful information. With " show dev"
command I did see the MAC address of the ethernet card.
There are 5 bootable devices on the box

DIA0 (RFF31)
DIA1 (RF72)
DUA0 (RA81)
TK70
EZA0 (08-00-2B-1D-DC-29)

Besides "show dev" command, do you know any other commands
that can show

1. the size of memory in system
2. each harddrive size.
3. cpu type

for this system. Sorry, I am lack of manual for this sytem.
Appriciate your help.

Thank you

Hank Lee
