AVAILABILITY

Available only on Sun-3 and Sun-3x systems equipped with either an FPA or an FPA+. 

DESCRIPTION

fpaversion performs various tests on the FPA or FPA+.  Without arguments, it prints the microcode version number and constants currently installed on /dev/fpa.  fpaversion also performs a quick test to ensure proper operation and reports whether an FPA or an FPA+ is installed.
