Do you mean the SN # ? Don't have a 30 286 to check but most
IBMs had a model subset that better described it like the 8580-111
8580-Axx or in the PS/1s for example the 2133-011. Mueller has
most listed in his 3rd edition but not the SN #s.

2 - Model 55SX (8555)
1 - Model 30 286 (8530)
1 - Model 30 (8530)
1 - Model 50 (8550)
Does anyone know why IBM choose to use the same part number for the Model
30 and Model 30 286?

It's hard to confuse them. The 25 is an all-in-one. The easier ones to
confuse are the 30 and the 55SX, as they came in the same case.
Model 40 and below are ISA, 50 series and above are microchannel. The
30-286 and 55SX used the same case but the 30 (8086) had a similar but
plastic beige/brown (as opposed to all beige steel) case.
