<< Does anyone know of any listing or directory
of IBM top level part
numbers? Every so often I come across a whatzit from IBM that only has a
little aluminum square with "IBM" and a four digit number. A listing
would be very handy.
The FRUs look to be somewhat organized, probably in a typical
megacomplicated IBM fashion. What I am looking for is a directory of
the numbers the customers see on the outside of their machines - 5150 on
an PC/XT, 7015 on an RS/6000, 8228 on a Token Ring thing, etc. For
example, I just saw an 3089 - a big blue box that could easily crush a
Volkswagen. What is it? I have my guesses (3081 or 3090 dofunny
attachment).

I have access to all IBM FRU numbers,
which will always tell you what you
have; NNLNNNN where n=number and l=letter but that four digit number means
nothing AFAIK.
