Yes, IBM still carries some replacement parts.  I got a battery from
them about a half year ago for around $40 I think.  The battery is
not the same as a standard PC battery, and I didn't want to chance
messing things up.  A little while later I started losing power for
no apparent reason.  I priced a power supply through IBM, they wanted
over $1,000 for one.  I managed to find one through a part shop for
$150.  In the end, I just cleaned the power supply and I haven't had
a problem since.

While I was looking into the power supply, I also asked about memory
and multiport serial cards.  As far as I can recall, they didn't have
any.  I guess they only carry "replacement" things nowadays.
