One solution which I find often works is to get a copy of QEMM and install it. Then you can use Machine_Type = J. I guess this kind of hides the problem and might not be to your tastes.
The only other machine_type I have ever used (other than 2 and J) is type 6 and that was for an IBM PS/2 model 70 which is a 386.
How many types are there ? Perhaps a limited number such that exhaustive search might prove enlightenting ?
Good luck.
