Can you modify them Eric? Martin, I forgot about your Manta printers. That's still something I'd like to get. I decided a long time ago I don't need to collect any of the rebranded Aquarius items, but that Manta is special, because it's all decked out in black. A great item in your collection.

the-topdog Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm already seeing some interesting patterns... correct me if I am wrong, but it seems the Mattel Aquarius equipment was produced in two runs... RH01 and RH02... and the Radofin Aquarius production run jumped to RH05. Not to mention the fact that there seems to be more units produced than originally surmised, judging by the disparity between the serial numbers entered thus far.

+MattelAquarius Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I just dropped my bucket of ser #'s. I was always curious where in production they jumped to the S2 ROM. I included that info in the numbers I provided. Another change, during the Mattel run, was the switch from a wall wart power supply, to the style more like a modern laptop adapter. I forgot to include that info in the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting them! Seeing the list, I see an extra space in two of my Mattel Aquarius ser numbers have screwed up the ordering. They are at the bottom of the list, but shouldn't be. Could you please fix my blunders, when you have a chance? Thanks. Edit: Looks like you beat me to it! Thank you.

BassGuitari Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I just added mine: 1.) Aquarius computer (Mattel): RH0219773 There is also an additional sticker on the bottom with "1523RH" printed on it. Not sure what that means (probably nothing?). This unit is working and complete in box, and was sold in a "Computer & Game System" package. 2.) Mini-Expander (Mattel): RH0176825 This one also has an extra sticker on the bottom, with "2363RH" printed on it. This one is working and is boxed and mostly complete, less the manual and any brochures/ads/catalogs that may have been packed with it. This came in the same "Computer & Game System" package as the Aquarius system listed above. That's all I've got for now, as far as hardware goes.

mvdsteenoven Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm happy to see that I am not the only one making the typo's. Perhaps you could create some kind of login account so everybody can review their own additions and modify them. Or maybe you could do something like the Linux Counter (counter.li.org). If you register to this website you will receive a GIF image with the Linux penguin and your registration number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you register to this website you will receive a GIF image with the Linux penguin and your registration number Hmmm... that's not too hard for me to implement, it would just require having a password associated to their username and creating a quick login script. Unfortunately, 1/2 of the people submitting serial numbers did not supply an email address that I can send temporary passwords to, so they wouldn't be able to edit theirs. If I do it, I would have to make any edits require moderator approval just like the posts do... just to prevent spamming using the forms... don't want to see viagra laden mini-expanders popping up on the site Edited October 26, 2010 by the-topdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
