Not nit picking, just trying to inform: IBM type/model numbering scheme is 4
dash 3, like 1234-123. The first four is the type, the last three is the
model designation.
IBM serial numbers (at least, on the RS/6K equipment) are 2 dash 5, usually,
such as 26-10235. The "26" being common to the last two systems on the list
make me want to think that they're the first part of a serial number and not
part of the type/model. Most of the beiege equipment I've ever seen has a
"10" or a "26" preceeding it. I don't know what that means, though -- maybe
indicative of RS/6000 equip, or maybe a country code?
