It is also not exactly the one millionth - I'm pretty sure the millionth
SA800 went to the Smithsonian and the next one is in the office of Dave
MacDougal, the owner of WeirdStuff, Sunnyvale CA,
http://www.weirdstuff.com/. Dave closed the doors of Shugart in 1985-6.
Maybe Shugart Corp. gave the one million minus one to Wang
One interesting anomaly is the SA900 series was early-on replaced by the
SA800 series, although Wang may have bought them into the 1980s. So the
SA901 label is probably a publicity stunt.
