No, for manuals the number is 1-800-IBM-PCTB.

Perhaps; I know they've combined the PC/PS2 BIOS information, and put it in 
a separate book called the "Personal System/2 and Personal Computer BIOS 
Interface Technical Reference".
It's about $75, but it includes more discussion and explanation than the
BIOS sections of older manuals did.
