+Larry Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Is there a consistent pattern to Atari computer and peripheral serial numbers? I'm mostly interested in the year of manufacture. Here are some examples: 800XL (Taiwan) 333218 Also on the label 72RHA and stamped in blue ink: D-514 600XL (Hong Kong) 7YJ EA 38802453 1050 (Singapore) 7VDFF 84201 and stamped in black ink: 054 On the 1050, the 84201 looks like a Julian date -- 201st day of 1984. (?) On the computers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClausB Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Usually there's a 3-digit number WWY. So your 800XL is the 51st week of 1984 and the 1050 is the 5th week of 1984. See: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
