Decode following facts about your 68K Mac from its serial number:

To use this decoder, simply type in your Mac's serial number in the decoder below. Click the decode button to decode your Mac´s serial number. Any asterisks can be left out, as they are not considered to be part of the serial number. The decoder supports Classic Mac´s from 1984 to 1999 like Macintosh, Mac SE´s, Mac II´s, Mac LC´s, PowerBook´s, Performa´s, Quadra´s and PowerMac´s serial numbers.

Please note: if what you think is the serial number starts with "BCG", you've found the FCC ID. You can not decode FCC ID numbers with this decoder. A classic Mac Serial number looks like this: C6310ROM0001AP (Macintosh Plus) - where to find the Serial Number ? If you have problems reading the number because the number 0 and the letter o look the same, read this Forum Topic solving this problem.

If you run across an unsupported model or an "undefined" value, please contact me with as much data as you know about the computer like: serial number, model, model number, CPU speed, where it was made (if known), when it was made (if known), etc. I try to add support in a future revision. A big thank-you goes out to everyone who submitted informations — you've helped to improve this decoder immensely! To check the decoded year see this timeline.
