[fa.info-vax] CPU-types from GETSYI

 To one and all:

The $GETSYI system service among other things returns a code called
the "CPU type".  I have constructed the following table of values:

CPU type	Model
--------	-----
1		780
2		750
3		730 or 725
4		?
5		?
6		?
7		microVAX I
?
?

Can anyone help fill this in please?  Is 782 same as 780?  What about
785?  8600? uVAX II ? etc.   Thanks in advance.  (Educated "guesses" from
test sites of new machines would be welcome.)

Best I can guess is that our 785 is responding with a CPU type identical
to a 780.  A 4.2 kernel configured to run on a 780 runs great on a 785.
