no need to search..

there were some Fidelity computers that were released with dual model
designations ,both alpha and  numeric
the reason for this is sometime during 1984-1985 Fidelity switched from the
alpha numeric to  purely numeric model desgnation
so you have for example the Elegance( AS12) with also a numeric model
desgination of 6085 or the Excellence (EP12) with the 6080

if a computer was a good seller for Fidelity and was released before the numeric
switch over,then it was later  assigned the numeric model designation on newly
made computers of that same model

Best
Steve
