Which one?  The CPU's HVERSION, CPU's SVERSION, or the HVERSION/SVERSION of
some other card, or the PA-RISC architecture level (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, etc.), or
the "chip version" (PA-RISC 7100, PA-RISC 7200, etc.), or ... ?

In general, the primary things I can think would be of interest to most
code on a 3000 are:

   1) does the machine have a floating point coprocessor?  (see the CCR
      register, or Pascal/iX code below)
      If CCR >= $c0, then you have a floating point coprocessor.

   2) how many CPUs are configured?   (AIFSCGET item 3061)

   3) how much memory is available?   (AIFSCGET item 3039)

Sample code to get the CCR (Coprocessor Configuration Register):

   $standard_level 'os_features'$

   program m (output);

   var
      i : integer;

   Procedure getprivmode; intrinsic;

   Function get_control_reg (crnum : integer) : integer;
      external;

   begin

   getprivmode;
   i := get_control_reg (10);

   writeln (i);

   end.
