I've done a bit of behind-the-scenes work on the serial number decoder at

http://macfaq.org/serial.html

and I've decided I'd like to extend it to at least the rest of the 68K Macs and
Apple-branded peripherals if possible, so I need more data.

If I can get people to send me

serial number
model of Mac or peripheral
model number (M0239, for instance)
approximate year of production (for example, Color Classics say the month and
year they were made on the s/n sticker)
anything else you know about that particular device

I'll see what I can do about reverse-engineering Apple's serial number
generation algorithms.

Thanks, folks.
