another:
5000/260 0x00008002
This machine was netbooted, so 0x00080000 (IOASIC_INTR_SCSI_PTR_LOAD)
isn't set.

So I'll guess that a 5900/240 would not set that bit. I'll add some
code to dec_3maxplus.c to get the model name right.
According to the Ultrix 4.4 SPD (Software Product Description), the
"correct" names for these machines are:
DECsystem 5900
DECsystem 5900-260
Ultrix (from memory) lists them as:
DECsystem 5900
DECsystem 5900 60MHz processor
and I've been calling the latter a 5900/60 for ages. I'll go with the
SPD names for now...
