Bingo!  We have a winner.  That serial was just an example taken from a
Performa 475 that I was using as a foot-stool/Ram checker.

I was wondering what you were talking about.  Yes.  It could also be 1984,
but it wasn't a Plus so you have to use a process of elimination to figure it
out.  I *know* your smart enough to know what year a mac came out Gregg.

Considering that the IIfx was made from 1990-1992 or thereabouts, finding a
