My Sol-20 has the same identical nameplate. What is interesting is that
when Bob Marsh and the guy who designed the Sol-20 talked at VCF 1 or 2,
they talked about the Sol-10. Bob said they ran the idea of the Sol-10
up the flagpole, and when nobody saluted, they ended up not making any.
Mine says:
Sol Terminal Computer
Model No. 10
------------------------
Serial No. 102963
------------------------
I don't recall how the serial numbers were made up, but looking at the
two, I would guess that they started at 100000 or 100001.

I just noticed something weird about my SOL.
From everything I can tell, it is a SOL-20.
It has the S-100 backplane, the big power supply,
the numpad, etc. BUT, the silver serial number
label reads:
Sol Terminal Computer
Model No. 10 <<<yes, ten
------------------------
Serial No. 103476
------------------------
etc.
I wonder how this machine ended up with the wrong lid?
