unfortunately, you need many listings.  IBM will call someting "600E" and
ship many variations of the hardware.  this actually may make your
hypothesis not feasible... there's nothing in the data below which says
"hey this is an IBM 600E!"

DMI really is a better choice.

and in general it's probably better to whitelist sensors data:  include
a database of all known to work configurations.

here's the data you requested from a 600E:
