Naah. There are NOT THREE one-millionth of the same

Makes sense to me. People usually don't run serial numbers sequentially
across different models. The 1,000,000 SA601 would seem right by the label.
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.
Who has the one-millionth SA850?
(I'd rather have double-sided!)
