Serial Number Database

[Namtip]

Wasn't there someone collating a database on serial numbers, models, ULA date codes etc.? I searched here but couldn't find anything. I came across this website: https://serials.spectrumforeveryone.com/, but there doesn't seem to be a way of submitting information or contacting anyone, and I don't want to create a facebook account.

I've got a couple of spectrums to add, that's all.

Thanks Mark, I saw that but it looks dead, and that's where I found the link to the website.

I built that serial database one afternoon in the pub about five years ago, and ever since then I've been meaning to update it so that it's a bit more user-friendly and people can add their own serial.

Maybe this will give me the impetus to spend another afternoon in the pub doing it!

In the meantime, please can you send any serial number info you have to [email protected] and I'll add it by hand?

Thanks

You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment...

Oooh, it would be nice if it could be improved

Especially if new entries can include the board part number (for Amstrad made boards) and board issue or version number, 4 digit date codes for the Modulator, ULA and Z80, plus Z80 manufacturer/make.

A good template would be:

Code: Select all

Model:   [xxxxxxxxxxxx]
Serial : [xxxxxxxxxxxx]                       [ colour ]
PCB Part No. [xxxxxxxx]         PCB Issue No. [xxxx]
ULA :    [5C012E 5C112E 6C001E-6 6C001E-7]    [Datecode]
CPU :    [Zilog / NEC / Sharp]  [ProductCode] [Datecode]
ROM :    [Hitachi / NEC / other]              [Datecode]
DRAM :   [ProductCode]                        [Datecode]
Modulator :                                   [Datecode]

For example:

Code: Select all

Model:   ZX Spectrum 48K rubber key
Serial : 001-62176       white
PCB Part No.             PCB Issue No. 2
ULA :    5C102E          8217  
CPU :    NEC NECD780C-1  8208
ROM :    Hitachi         8213  
DRAM :   MM5290N-2       8206, 8137, 8204
Modulator :              8216 

And obviously, the model

If I know it's a live project, I'll provide details of my own machines.

Happy to take any feedback or suggestions on board.

Please don't get too excited or hold your breath - I'm notoriously flaky when it comes to these types of projects and it literally requires me to smash it out in a few sittings before I become bored of them!
