V1 Dave didn't made that chart,he just copy/paste from my thread.This s/n chart was created by me in 2006,but that does not matter anymore,because when something is posted online it becames public property.I don't mind if someone takes the credits for something that I did,because I made that chart for all V1 users,not just for myself.
It was a pain in the a$$ to ghater all/correct info and at VR were very tight-lipped about disclosing that info.I realized that it would took me YEARS to get all info,so I had to use a somewhat illegal or should I say semi-legal method...lol(please DON'T ask what I did),to obtain faster the correct info about s/n-to-MFG relation.
I first posted this chart couple months ago,at the bottom of the first post:
Frequency Coverage in EURO-mode/VR's answer
Let me tell you what happened last year after I posted that chart on one EUROPEAN RD/LJ forum/blog.
One RD online store in EU posted on their website that all V1 that can be bought from US.E-Bay are not suitable for EU,because they don't have EURO-mode.They claimed that MikeV. developed exclusively for them,a EURO-version of V1 which displays E-U-R sequence when powered on.They even stated that US versions of V1 can be ID'ed by letter "A" on display,which means "America"...lol.
...and then I saw my chart posted on their website,again with their BS comments where they offered a V1 up-grade and tune-up for 250€(that's $403!!!)...by the way,they want 700€( $1085)for new V1 with special Euro-mode.
Anyways,I was pissed that they used my chart to milk more money from poor un-educated buyers,so I sent them a e-mail where I asked them where/how did they get that chart and if they are 100% sure that it's the correct info.Next day I got an e-mail from them,where they claimed that all the info,including my chart,came directly from Mike V.
I want to thank
DougiesGoinDeep for starting this thread.I appreciate your self-iniciative.I tought about doing it myself,but I chose not to,because based on past experiencies,it takes waaay too long to get info that way and -if not stickied- the thread goes cold in less than a week.I also want to thank
TheStanton for making it a sticky.
