The first batch of BBCs, which was used to suppy schools who had placed
advance orders, were certainly Issue 1.  (50? 100? 200?  Can't remember
but it was a pretty small number)  I *think* those were Model As --
AFAIR the one at the school I worked in was.  The first machines
delivered to the public were also Issue 1.  However, I've seen Issue 1
Model Bs, and Issue 1/2/3/4/7 has nothing to do with whether the
machine is an A or a B.
