HP49G Serial Numbers
Message #1 Posted by Matthew on 10 Sept 1999, 8:57 p.m.

Hello,

From what I can see the serial number on the HP49G does not go along with the rules of serial numbers on previous hp's.

Can anyone tell me how to decode the serial number on the HP49G ?

Thanks for any info/help/feedback !

Actually the HP49G serial number appears to follow the pattern of post 1996 models described here at http://www.hpmuseum.org/collect.htm#numbers

The following post on the COMP.SYS.HP48 newsgroup shows an example.
