That's contrary to every figure I've ever heard for the C64 production
numbers. It's inflated by about 50-60%. Cameron Kaiser or Larry
Anderson would be the guys to ask.
Agreed. My understanding of the number of C-64s sold is more in the
ballpark of 17-19M.
I have s/n S00002345 (FCC ID BR98VY.VIC20 !) among others (I used to
have S00002008, a freebie/promo unit from C= to my first employer
in April, 1982, but we traded it into the dealer for a newer one that
crashed less often. Somewhere, I have the 1540 that came with it).
