The suggestion of interpreting the byte at F000:FFFE (re: Peter Norton Guide)
isn't too helpful (FF = PC,FE = XT, FD=PCjr, FC=AT,2D=Compaq PC,9A=Compaq XT)

Perhaps the ROM BIOS date at F000:FFF5 is a better start
04/24/81 = PC, 10/19/81 = revised PC,08/16/82= XT, 10/27/82= new PC
11/08/82 = portable pc, 06/01/83 = pc jr, 01/10/84 = original at, etc. etc.
(again from peter norton guide)
