Is there anywhere we can get a list of what values pertain to which device
manufacturers?

Yes, but the approach depends entirely on what version of the Palm OS the
device is running.
A complete explanation of how to do this for the entire history of all Palm
and Licensee devices requires a fairly substantial chunk of sample source
code, as the mechanisms to detect the device ID has evolved over time.
However, beginning with Palm OS 3.5, we've standardized on three system
features which you can retrieve to obtain this info. Please refer to
sysFtrNumOEMDeviceID, sysFtrNumOEMHALID, and sysFtrNumOEMCompanyID in
SystemMgr.h for details.
