I'd suggest you search for HDD model (e.g. DPLA-25120), not its part
number. The model should be printed on a sticker attached to the HDD (be
sure to dismantle the caddy), or can be queried with software, e.g. the
"Hardware Manager" of OS/2.

IBM lists 12J0449 and 11J8947 as replacements. It's likely that both
refer to the same physical object - the "Travelstar 5GS" from 1997,
a.k.a. DPLA-25120.
