Does your A1 unit have the expansion port.  I am assuming it does not.

Nope.  At least not from looking on the outside.

[purduecrum]

Has expansion interface...  A1 5057643.

Interesting, is there any blue lettering (or numbers) between the "A1" and the "5057643"?

[schmedly]

I have A1 81 5198557 and A1 87 5390079
Neither have an expansion port.

[lapetino]

I have AT8455587, with the expansion port. I love that it's a little bit earlier, even though I just got it a month ago!

A1 86 5370798 (...no port)   and    A3 8C 5202035

...pictures to follow...

I think this begs the question, "Which is more rare?  7800's in general?  or Heavy Sixers"?

I think the "EP" versions of the 7800 are more rare than the Heavy Sixers because far fewer were made (only 5000).

Thanks!  I assume the "A1 84 5293576" and "A1 ?? 5234371" units do not have the expansion interface?

It works!  Thank you very much.

Here's my 7800 w/ expansion port.



If the EP units were supposedly made in Texas, why do they all clearly say "Made in Taiwan" on the label?

Also, you might want to edit the title of this thread and remove "Early" as you now seem to be compiling a list of all 7800 serial numbers, not just the earliest ones.

I have wondered the same thing and asked the same question.

I have a guess- maybe all the labels were ordered and printed to say "made in Taiwan" because that is where the ultimate manufacturing location was going to be, and it was just cost effective to print them all this way- ignoring the fact that the first run would come out of Texas.  

Anyone else want to hazard a guess or shed some light on the subject?  Also, the question as to why my EP model has a # in the 8K range?  

Thanks in advance!

[Master Phruby]

Mine has an expansion port:
