realforce serial number and manufacturing date help
« on: Thu, 09 April 2020, 21:22:31 »
I have a board with
S/N 4060074aA

does this mean it was manufactured in 2004 June?
Thanks

I don't think there's any correlation in that way with serial.

There's a manufacturing date section in the Realforce wiki on Deskthority.  They say that there are manufacturing date stickers on the PCB and the plate, but no date for the keyboard as a whole.

Thanks, looks like the first digit of S/N at the back of the keyboard is the same as the first digit on the plate.

Please take a look at your Realforce 87/86 to see if it is the case.
