7.39 How do I convert the uname string to the model string?

Here's the relationship for the most common HP-UX machines:

   Model number on the     String returned
   outside of the box      by uname -m
   -------------------     ---------------
        default ----------> 9000/800
        E25 --------------> 9000/806
        E35 --------------> 9000/816
        E45 --------------> 9000/826
        E55 --------------> 9000/856
        F10 --------------> 9000/807
        F20 --------------> 9000/817
        H20 --------------> 9000/827
        K400 -------------> 9000/829
        F30 --------------> 9000/837
        G30/H30 ----------> 9000/847
        I30 --------------> 9000/857
        G40/H40 ----------> 9000/867
        I40 --------------> 9000/877
        G50/H50 ----------> 9000/887
        I50 --------------> 9000/897
        G70/H70 ----------> 9000/887
        I70 --------------> 9000/897
        G60/H60 ----------> 9000/887
        I60 --------------> 9000/897
        T500 -------------> 9000/891

9000/800 is the default used when HP-UX cannoot determine the model
number of the machine.  Other than prototypes, no properly configured machine
should return 9000/800.  A customer machine returning 9000/800 should have its
stable storage updated by Support.

BTW, if you're running 10.0 or later you can use the "model" command to
get an expanded model string.  For example:

   $ uname -m
   9000/829
   $ model
   9000/829/K400
