  00h     word    Number of bytes following
  02h     byte    Model
                     IBM convention (not necessarily followed by other manufacturers) is:
                        F8h = 386 or higher CPU (i.e. Model 70, Model 80, Model 95)
                        F9h = IBM PC Convertible (80C88-based)
                        FAh = 8086-based system (i.e. PS/2 Model 25, Model 30)
                        FBh = IBM PC/XT (8088-based)
                        FCh = 286-based system (i.e. PC/AT, Model 50, Model 60, Model 30 286)
                        FDh = IBM PCjr (8088-based)
                        FEh = IBM PC/XT (8088-based)
                        FFh = IBM PC (8088-based)
  03h     byte    Submodel
                     Typically a unique value in the model range for each unique model of system
                        i.e. Model FCh Submodel 04h is all Model 50s
                             Model FCh Submodel 05h is all Model 60s
  04h     byte    BIOS Revision
                     Typically incremented for each subsequent version of BIOS version
                        i.e. "0" is first release, "1" is the next later version
