Here's my standard Slot Manager demo program.  It compiles into an MPW tool
(MPW C 3.0):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <slots.h>
#include <ROMDefs.h>

main()
{
	int i;
	SpBlock spb;
	long l;

	for (i = 9; i < 16; i++) {
		spb.spSlot = i;
		spb.spID = 1;
		spb.spExtDev = 0;
		if (!SRsrcInfo(&spb)) {
			printf("Slot %d:\n", i);
			spb.spID = sRsrcName;
			if (!SGetCString(&spb)) {
				printf("  %s\n", (char *) spb.spResult);
			}
			spb.spID = vendorInfo;
			if (!SFindStruct(&spb)) {
				spb.spID = vendorId;
				if (!SGetCString(&spb)) {
					printf("  Vendor: %s\n",
						(char *) spb.spResult);
				}
				spb.spID = serialNum;
				if (!SGetCString(&spb)) {
					printf("  Serial Number: %s\n",
						(char *) spb.spResult);
				}
				spb.spID = revLevel;
				if (!SGetCString(&spb)) {
					printf("  Revision: %s\n",
						(char *) spb.spResult);
				}
				spb.spID = partNum;
				if (!SGetCString(&spb)) {
					printf("  Part Number: %s\n",
						(char *) spb.spResult);
				}
				spb.spID = date;
				if (!SGetCString(&spb)) {
					printf("  Revision Date: %s\n",
						(char *) spb.spResult);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Enjoy,
