I'm looking for info on what looks to be either a very old or obscure IBM type
number. All I have is 3848 and "VTL" (card) to work with. None of the search
engines, including Deja News, come up with anything other than a "help wanted"
listing looking for someone with experience on the 3848.
Any idea what this might be?

Hope this helps (It's an excerpt from a 890K parts list that was available
from www.decisionone.com, but had expired).

I don't think this is the same number. I have found several "3848s" in
IBM's
web space, but most were a memory expansion for various midrange boxes. The
3848 I'm looking for would probably have listed for several thousand dollars.
Spaceba for the informatzeya though.

E-mail the author of that message and ask him/her what a 3848 is.

No can do. It was a web site and there was no contact info provided. I managed
to find another mention of the part in IBM's pubs catalog--evidently it was
a crypto server for S/390, but there aren't any docs that address it directly.
Now my curiosity is piqued--I'm going to have to find pictures and docs for it
now.
