Hello All,

I own two Escom A4000T's does that mean I have two of 2000 machines out there? The figure of Escom only making 2000 machines has to be wrong. The amount of machines poping up on Ebay all the time and machines I seen up for sale in my area makes me believe this must not be the case. Love to hear your opinion on this subject.

Who says Escom made only 2000 units? Where does this came from? There are at least 5000 units around.

Escom wanted to make 100.000 A1200 and 6.000 A4000T in total. Remember that Escom crashed only a few months after the A4000T was on sale. From the serial numbers I have I can estimated that a minimum of 5.000 A4000T and 80.000 A1200 were made. From the Commodore A4000T there must be at least 150 units so a total of 200 is possible.

Its possible I guess that those last three digits on the bar code represent the actual unit number... In your case the number being 955. Probably not.

It is but mainboard, modules and other stuff have its own serial number. So this is the serial of the case.

Yes, that machine has a serial number much closer to the one from scuzzb494... That's why it's not possible to deduct an amount from the serial numbers imho.

It is possbile if you know how the serial numbers work.

Imagine how cool it would be to have a database of every piece of hardware, including serial number, bar code, etc, etc,...   :-?

Or is it just me being amazingly anal that thinks that would be cool?   :-D  :lol:

It would be a pain in the ass. I have collected over 1000 serials of amiga hardware and I know what crap this is.
