Some time ago there we had that topic... In the meantime I got one of the later QLs a original JS-machine with an ISS7 motherboard (the latest UK-made PCB-design). It has the serial-number D16-122418.
To rescue some information about "QL build-standards/ PCB-issues and production figures" I did a Q&D web-page which can found on my homepage. I own 7 QL's now, from 3 of them you'll find pictures concerning "build-standard/serial-number", "CPU/ZX8301", "PCB-view" and "PCB-issue" on this page. Based on approved informationen I know that at least 122'793 english QL's (D16-122793), 5854 US QL's (S13-005854) and 10'800 german QL's (SG18-010800) were produced. I'm still searching for a pre D05 (D00 to D04), a post D16 (D17) and a S13 QL. If someone knows how I could obtain such a machine, please let me know, Thank You!
