...there the system shows nothing about the dials ! I even can't install
them. So how they could be regognized ?!

The model # is: SN-921
Type # is: 9780804
Serial # 37S24660

does this make any sense for you ? I searched all of SGI help systems,
the old sgi.meta.sys etc. but could find out anything.

Now the nice part:
MISSI 11# whoami
root
MISSI 12# showprods eoe.sw.optinput
I = Installed, R = Removed

    Name Date Description

Yep. That's all. I guess I really should try to install that package -
but how the heck the dials can be regognized ?!

Anyway, thanks a lot for advise !

Cheers
Ralf
