Jeff Rasin has had A2S1-0002, the story can be found on Digibarn.

Starting with "0001" is the sign of an unsophisticated company--as Apple
was then.  Still, consider the gaps issue.

When I bought my ][+ in December, 1980, I had a choice of machines, and
the *only* difference was the nameplate and the ROMs.


Could you let me know the Sn. of the Computer, the part no. of the
motherboard and the date of production of the board?

My original ][+ is in storage right now, but it was recent Computerland
stock, so I'd guess it was made within the previous 6 months--around
mid-80.  That also squares with my fuzzy memory of the board and chip
dates.
