Here is a posting of the responses I received:

Compare the high byte against the #defines in /usr/include/mon/idprom.h.

Here is a small program I have got for showing the type of Sun I am using.

set host_id = `hostid`

if ( ${host_id} =~ 12* ) then
	set machine_type =  "3/50"

Take the first 2 digits of the hostid and compare them with the following list:

From: beaulieu@bose.com (Larry Beaulieu):

	The 1st 2 characters of the hostid identify the CPU type.
	This does not distinguish between systems of the same
	CPU type, e.g. 4/470 and 4/490, however it does distinguish
	between 3/50, 3/60, 3/80, SS1, SS1+, SS2, IPC, ELC, SLC, IPX,
	4/300, 4/400, etc.

	This info was documented by Sun in one of their monthly
	software bulletins about a year ago, unfortunately I no
	longer have the manual.
