Thanks for the post. In March, I saw Amiga #1 running the boing ball demo
for several hours, just as it had at the Amiga 30th celebration in Mountain
View, CA last July. As the machine was being carefully packed for storage,
I looked on the back of the machine at the model plate. And there it was,
"Model A1000", right next to the power cord.
Then I read your post and blog, and went to check one of the three "Amiga"
computers I own. The model plate had been moved to the underside of the
machine, and had "AMIGA" on the upper left, with an FCC registration number
and serial number side by side under that. Under the serial number "box"
on the label, "Model 1000" was clearly printed. So there are a few
variations in later production. If the serial number actually indicates
the number of machines that were made (as a serial number should), there
were more that 1,100,000 units produced. My serial on that machine is in
excess of that quantity.
It's great to see people interested in the start of it all. BTW, if you're
ever in California in October, consider coming by the AmiWest show in
Sacramento. See amiwest.net for more info for the 2016 show.
