>sucker people like me ;>)

no
it has to do with the year Fidelity switched from Alpha model numbers to Numeric

this was around late 1984-1985

so some computers were given dual model number's

another example is the Elegance which had the Alpha model number of AS12 as well
as the numeric model number 6085

if a computer which was assigned initially an Alpha model number but was still
being sold in later years(because it was a good seller)it was also assigned the
new Numeric number
