The card I have is a genuine IBM card, FRU:73H3562 or a 4_A (rear 
identification sticker) for RS/6000 but I think, looking at the lay out 
of relative ages of cards, the older PCI RS/6000s were 5V and the newer 
ones use 3.3V cards (mostly in 64-bit slots).

I know GXT4500P and GXT6500P cards fit the machine and they are 
universal, so maybe that's something to look for.
