There's a system call stored in ROM you can use to query that. The
system call obviously doesn't return something burnt into the ROM, but
queries the actual hardware. I have a 120 which has a ROM donated by a dead
130, and in this machine the system call correctly reports that the device
does *not* have backlight.
