Yes, for some (I don't know why) reason, gestalt machine #s are 2 greater
than their sysEnvirons brethren.
... And to kill to birds w/one stone, here are the IIci and above values

Machine     SysEnvirons#  Gestalt#
SE30             7           9
Portable         8           10
IIci             9           11
IIfx            11           13
Classic         15           17
IIsi            16           18
LC              17           19
