Thanks for all the replies. Deep in my heart I always felt that the numbers must have had some type of meaning but could never understand what. Now I know they where meaning less 
Yeah, there's no magical formula, but, in general, they are designed to give you an idea where the system fits into the product line. (IE, the A500 is a less expandable machine than the A2000. The A2500 is more powerful than the A2000. The A3000 is more powerful than either the 2000 or the 2500, etc...)
Then, later on, the A600 was incremented replacement to the A500. So the system that was a more powerful, but still self-contained unit was named the A1200.
The A600 was gonna be called the A300, til the marketing guys got their hands on it!! I think it says A300 on the PCB but I cant remember for sure.
Also, I think the CD32 was gonna be called the A100, although I cant remember for sure.
My head`s shot.
