I always thought they'd chosen 1200 because it was twice the spec of the A600 (1MB vs 2MB, 7MHz vs 14MHz, 16-bit vs 32-bit etc), and it was almost twice the size as well!

Perhaps the other way around, if anything, since the A1200 came first.

Model numbers that were multiples of 1000 all had zorro slots, and hence "big-box".  Everything else had no zorro slots.

Multiple 1000's, sure, but not the one named with only a single 1000.
