    Well, spank me courageous... searching for ZM1...

    FRU P/N72X8530 (OPTION #6450348). FRU P/N90X8995 IS SUPPORTED IN
    THE FOLLOWING MACHINE TYPE/MODELS.

    Note: There is a new level FRU ( P/N85F0004 ) now available that
    has in turn replaced P/N90X8995.

    8550-A00 8550-B00 8550-C00 8550-021 8550-031 8550-061
    8550-900 8560-041 8560-071 8580-041 8580-071 8580-111
