On the Cray-2 at NCSA, the target command works:

u2 1% target
Primary machine type is:  CRAY-2
   banks    = 128
   numcpus  = 4
   ibufsize = 16
   memsize  = 134217728
   memspeed = 35
   clocktim = 4100
   numclstr = 0
   bankbusy = 13
u2 2% 

I didn't look into the target(2) system call.  Presumably it's there if
the command is there.
