Maybe it had something to do with the original crew that actually contributed to the ROM development? I was just an interested weenie that wanted one after all the hard work was already accomplished. And, I sure do wish that I kept my original 41C and that original ROM, rather than let them go, so many years ago...

I was a late adopter, got one ROM & manual and was glad to get that. What an amazing group project.

The initial set of 2500 orders came with two ROMS and four manuals. A couple of additional sets of orders were made by PPC to HP and those were sold with single ROMS and manuals and helped keep the club's cashflow positive. The highest PPC member number for the initial order was 7310. If your member number was greater than 7310, your order was *definitely* in one of the latter batches. The member-number list of the original purchasers is documented in the PPC ROM manual itself starting on page 135.
