Meaning of the serial numbers

You can find the serial number engraved into the bottom of the Palmtop. There are rare cases where there is no serial number, or where the serial number is printed on a paper label which is attached to the bottom.

 

100LX, 200LX, 1000CX, OG700LX

XX = country of manufacturing (SG = Singapore ...)
Y = year of manufacturing, last digit (6 = 1996)

Your donation, even if it's just a single USD, will help me to:

  • finance the server that hosts the site
  • justify time I spend with maintaining the site and do not spend with earning money otherwise (wife is watching! ;D)
  • just continue to be motivated :)

Since my company "hermocom" does not exist for many years anymore, I am now spending my spare time and private money for all of this. Thank you very much! 🙂
