I believe (JFG please correct me) that 1AAAA were all pre-production machines, and that true production started with 1BBBB. My own original machine is 2405A, only a month later, and is 1BBBB. Unlikely they would have started a new line and changed OS rev within a month. But, back then, they really cared about quality and bugs, so anything was possible, reasonable or not.

Oh, and how did you get the url to point to the exact message? It's easy with the new Forum s/w, but not as obvious on the older forum content.

edit to add question.

I'm curious about the pre/production date codes as well. I was going off the eBay 2008 buyer's guide:
  • HP-71A 0AAAA prototype Metal back and keyboard, Mathias (hpcollection) paid $1635 for it
  • HP-71B 1AAAA Metal back and keyboard, hard to say
  • HP-71B 1BBBB Metal back and keyboard, $130
  • HP-71B 1BBBB Transparent body, $550
  • HP-71B 2CCCC Plastic back and keyboard, $150
  • HP-71B 2CDCC Plastic back and keyboard, $140

I'd like to know about the exact msg url as well.

Dave
