Added machine line
I've added a "Machine" line. My Pascal is rusty, and I've never really used Asm in my code: any tips?
Code from: DOS_SDK
I'm not very good at it either 😅 and don't even have a means to test this...
😅 Let me try to find some people with actual hardware to test this. Fingers crossed 🤞
The only XT about the "IBM XT Model 286" is they used the XT case. The machine detection checks if there is an additional interrupt controller, and concludes if there are two, it will be an AT.
See:

- https://www.dosdays.co.uk/computers/IBM%20PC-XT-286%20(5162)/ibm5162.php
So machine names are not very exact. Not sure what to do about it. Options:
- Leave it like this. IBM XT Model 286 is more AT than XT (and there where only made 20k of them)
- Don't implement this option.
- Better try to detect CPU
- Or show number of interrupt controllers/PIC's and bus type
However, I probably won't implement much more. I'll happy withdraw this PR if it's not the direction you want this tool to go.
What about the PCjr? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=50417
