I suppose the real answer could be found on the IBM retiree group on >>>>>> Facebook. I will ask there and see what they say. I might even be able >>>>>> to get a PS/2 engineer to check in here but there are not many usenet >>>>>> users around these days.
It's kind of interesting to know how many factories, and where, were involved in manufacturing the PS/2s over time. A real "geek" piece of info.
I think it goes something like Kingston, Boca, Austin in the US
Guadelahara, Mexico too?
Which is *23*, I recall that being mentioned.
Necro-thread revival - '23' is Guadelahara too? I thought it might be for multiple locations in the U.S. - Looking for more confirmation that '27' is Japan.
I have never seen 27 in/on any Japanese system, adapter, or other HW.
Granted, my sample pool isn't that large and I wasn't specifically
looking for that code either. The most common codes are 97 (system
units) and 98 (ICs).
