Sorcerer Serial Number Decode

While digging through my Exidy Sorcerer doc, I noticed a little
paragraph in the technical manul which tells how to read the
Sorcerer's serial number. I'm sending this in case other Exidy
owners want to check their systems.

"The first five digits of the serial number give the date of
manufacturer. The next several digits are specific to the individual
unit, and then, if you have a Sorcerer 2, there are the letters II.
Next comes the voltage designation. For example, serial number
10299 528 II 220V indicates a Sorcerer 2, manufactured on
10/29/79, unit number 528, of 220 volts."
---END QUOTE---

Mine is 03070 0085 110v so made on 03/07/80 I guess. Funny
thing is mine doesn't have the II to indicate it is a Sorcerer 2 but all
the doc and looking at the mobo inside seems to indicate it is a 2.
Wonder if the original owner swapped it at some point? It does list
a model number of DP1000-2.
