If it doesn't have "i" in front, indeed it is REAL as opposed to
complex. Even more
than that it is INTEGER.

But the "reality" end there. Serialization was not scientific. Just
the few boards assembled
at one time marked with numbers to make testing easier.
Beware: the white epoxy used for the "silkscreen" doesn't hold the
"permanent" marker
permanently. One touch with a finger is often enough to shatter the
myth.
