Dating the Atari Lynx Systems

An Atari Lynx porting of a classic Atari 2600 thread

I know about the MKI and MKII model but I'd like to know if it's possible to date the Atari Lynx MKI by serial or boxes.

 

About boxes, I saw at least three versions:

 

- Grey Big Box

- Grey Small Box (Surely released in Italy, I don't know if it was sold anywhere)
- White Box

 

 

 

Is there any other box variation?

 

And, overall, is it possible to recognize a first-bunch September 1989 console by serial or box?

Thanx a lot!

Reading the thread title I thought the love for the Lynx can indeed go too far.

Even rygar is in a relationship with a she-human and doesn't date his Lynxes.

I wanted to use the same title as the Atari 2600 thread

So it's acceptable to go on a date with more than one lynx?

I think is more acceptable to not go out-of-topic

I went with a on a few dates but ditched it because it didn't put out. Game Gear on the other hand is a total tramp.

I believe the first Lynx I (circular pad) only came in the largest grey box. THe smaller grey box was also sold in The Netherlands and contained the plus shaped Lynx I. After that the packages got simpler (white rygar box) still with the circular Lynx I.

The Lynx II came in a variety of boxes. It is harder to date (I guess) since the consoles needs to be opened to see the motherboard revision.

I dated a 5200 once, but it was too 'high maintenance' for me.
