Summary: Does "DEC2100_A500" mean EV4 or EV5?

Some responses suggested doing "sizer -implver" which at my rev (3.2c)
   these flags are not programmed in, so -c was about it.

After checking the /var/adm/messages file from bootup, it states
it's a 2100, I'm assuming it would say 2100A otherwise, but don't
know either way.

Apparantly the _A500 doesn't seem to correlate to EV levels.

Running "psrinfo -v " didn't yield the info I wanted as well, mostly
because it's on a 3.2c system.

which yielded:

# psrinfo -v
processor 0 online since 08/03/100 02:06:44
        cpu_type = 15
        cpu_subtype = 9
        is_master = 1
processor 1 online since 08/03/100 02:06:44
        cpu_type = 15
        cpu_subtype = 9
        is_master = 0
#
John Francini seemed to think that we are at EV4 level.

Thanks to all who responded.

Since I'm not sure which EV level I'm at, we are going to install
a DE500-AA NIC (10/100mbs). I'm not really sure what the difference
between the DE500-AA and the DE500-BA is, but from a previous question
a couple people did not think the -BA would work in 3.2c (firmware 5.2)
but the -AA should be fine.
