One thing you can try is www.ibmlink.ibm.com. Search for an announcement
letter with the part number.
(See the "Old Letters" link).
In this case, I already have, but got no hits. Does the board have an FRU
number? Usually IBM boards had several numbers -- try them all.

Hi,
Is there a web site that, on entry of an IBM part number, returns what that
thing is?
I picked up an old (made in early '89 from date codes on the chips) IBM 8-bit
ISA card the other day. It's half-length, and the only connector on the rear
panel is a BNC. There are no jumpers on the card. Part number is 25F8545.
Searching for the part number on the IBM web site didn't turn up anything. On
Dejanews, one posting mentioned that part number. This card might be a "3270
emulator" apparently.
Can anyone shed more light on this? What exactly is it?
