Right memory, wrong model. I dropped a bit. It was
the 8570 (Model 70)
and it was ECA 021. Nasty memory problem resulting in a 110 error. IBM
would replace the mobo only if you complained loudly enough.
Speaking of inscrutable error codes from IBM BIOS, in the big
equipment purge of 2006 at work I obtained a number of IBM PC model
350 and 365s. In my various disassembling and re-assembling of pieces
amongst these systems to make a smaller number of maximally configured
systems I occasionally get an inscrutable error code form the BIOS.
Does anyone know if there are manuals for these models online? I
tried searching IBM's web site, but immediately got lost in the
large amount of irrelevant results.

What errors? I am familiar with those models. Fairly standard PC, nothing
unusual about them. You're looking for the HHM for these computers, but their
website has changed a lot since I worked there. DId you try
_www.pc.ibm.com/support_ (http://www.pc.ibm.com/support) ? You might also want to look
around
at service.boulder.ibm.com too.

Well, if I knew what the numbers meant I wouldn't have to look them up
:-P. I suspect they are just codes saying "hey, you changed the
amount of memory inside me since the last time I booted", but it
wouldn't hurt to have a reference.
I'll check out the web sites you mention.

Thanks, that first URL got me the Hardware Maintenance Manual. Oddly,
they didn't have my model number listed specifically so I selected the
one that was closest and that seems to have done the trick.
