My Sol-20 has the same identical nameplate. What is interesting is that
when Bob Marsh and the guy who designed the Sol-20 talked at VCF 1 or 2,
they talked about the Sol-10. Bob said they ran the idea of the Sol-10
up the flagpole, and when nobody saluted, they ended up not making any.
Mine says:


Sol Terminal Computer
Model No. 10
------------------------
Serial No. 102963
------------------------

I don't recall how the serial numbers were made up, but looking at the
two, I would guess that they started at 100000 or 100001.
