S/N 9999Axxxxx Message #1 Posted by Steve S on 2 May 2007, 12:58 a.m. There's an HP-67 calculator that just appeared on eBay with a serial number of 9999Axxxxx. Can someone remind me of the significance of the leading 9's?

I have some of them, got some of them from a man that worked in a moddeling firm from HP. These cases are more curiosities. Matthias

It has a "HP67 - IL2" sticker (looks original and official) in place of the usual "Hewlett Packard 67", and was sold by high-rank official at HP who retired recently. Personally, I'd like to have one of these just out of scarcity.
