Hmmmm - a guest asking a virtualizing hipervisor about the (hardware) environment. Riggghtt ... Even if CP was feeling benevolent enough to give you (what it thinks is) an honest answer, don't forget it too is running under a virtualizing hipervisor. And even PR/SM has to talk to macro/micro/milli/whatever-code to find out what the abacus underneath it all really might be. With that much slush-ware in the way, I'd be surprised if there was any way to ever find out. Maybe we really all do live on the thirteenth floor ...
