Hey JS, welcome to Model T computing! Greg is right, it was Portable Computer Magazine that printed the barcode listings, according to https://www.ordersomewherechaos.com/rosso/fetish/m102/web100/docs/kyocera-faq.html#b13 .
Just out of curiosity, why did you get both a 100 and 200? Are you trying to catch them all? If so, you've got at least three more to go (from Kyocera, NEC, and Olivetti). —b9 P.S. Since you're just starting out, please forgive me for making one recommendation from personal experience: these machines lose the contents of their memory when you look at them funny, so backup often, either over a serial port <https://youtu.be/H0xx9cOe97s> or with a REX expansion.
