 What do the 9## mean?, Was there some madness to the numbering? |

From what I read...and I stress I only read this. The numbers designated project numbers...thus there was no direct meaning to the number other then the internal project number assigned to the model. Now, I also read that, for example, in the 911 range many models had different XX's but they kept the identifier of 911 to the public.
Anybody else hear this story? |
