Could it be that we draw up a blank here also...I've looked in a couple of
old books I have here and drew a blank... could be that you have a rare
board as I can remember in the days those systems where build poeple where
a bit sloppy on the part numberings and what was on the boards they sold
did not allways correspond to the partnumbers they used because it was 
normal to improve on a design after it went into production ... so unless
you can find someone who has been maintaining those systems for a living
10 years ago and has a long memory and still remembers I'm affraid noone
will be able to find the data for you..
