Profile 5MB and 10MB HDD Models: Serial Numbers

(1/3) > >>

pintoguy:
Sorry to have posted on the 68kmla forum, but for the life of me, I can never easily post pics after uploading them on this forum. If someone has tips for me, I'd appreciate.

So please take a look at the link below. I'd be especially interested in hearing from @ried and @AlextheCat123 who own multiple Profiles, both the 5 and 10MB types.

Possible that someone just swapped the case or the escutcheon plate on yours? Pretty common these days in the era of cracked plastic cases and non-functional drives.

Yeah, like I said in the 68kmla forum, this was my  initial suspicion until I went through the whole forensics analysis that I described. Do any of your 5MB show a SN starting with a D, with a large font and printed vs glued on ? I just could not find one.

ried:
Could have just been a labeling error, too. All kinds of wacky things happened on the production lines back then.

AlexTheCat123:
One of my 5MB ProFiles has the large font with the D (serial number D 02133), but I don't believe that any of the others do. I don't have all of them with me right now, so I can't check them all, but I'm pretty sure that this is the only one with the big font. 2133 is pretty early, so I'm guessing that the big font is just an early serial number thing. But I have no idea about the label sizes! I've got a mix of both sizes, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when they used one or the other. Maybe they had both label sizes in stock at the same time and just put them on drives at random?
