Hi all,
I got two pizza box Mac IISI one M0360 S/N CK1250JRC53, the other M0350 S/N SG1427DYL13, in the cases it's written IISI. The back of the case is different because in one case the ids are engraved in plastic, in the other it's a plastic stick.
http://macfaq.org/serial.html kindly tells me that the first was assembled in Ireland in 1991, the latter in Singapore, same year, but the mother boards I found inside is written "Assembled in Ireland". The serial number on the logic board is not fully readable but the last 4 chars are the same for both.
The mother boards have the same layout and spec 20Mhz 68030 CPU, only the sockets and the logic board have slight different colours, there is no apparently difference in ICs or capacitors. at the back RP5 and RP3 have different colours and code.
I can guess that the one assembled in Singapore used the same motherboards used in Ireland.
https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=M0350 tells me that M0350 corresponds to an LC original with 16Mhz 68020 CPU which is not my case, and that the M0360 corresponds to IISI 20MHz 698030.
I can not find correspondences about the serial numbers over the web.
I'm confused, why the M0350 from Singapore is supposed to be a LC but the front panel says IISI and the MB is of a 6830?
Did some make an upgrade of the MB replacing also the top cover?
Little mystery
my best wishes for the new year
