Was that translation of prefix 'E' into Singapore the work of Mac128's software (which seems to be identical in result with pickle's Perl script), or your own research?
TattleTech (v2.84. Version 2.59 for earlier Macs is not so wide-rangeing in detail) decodes 'E' as Elk Grove, CA, and gives a specific date (week ending on). My E95108WM5359X is given as w/e 24/12/1989, and E048057M5359X as w/e 3/12/90. It also accurately defines my 512Ke (F6207FFM0001ED), and gives it as made at Cupertino (Fremont?) in the w/e 21/5/86. I have generally found TattleTech to be reliable in giving a result, and credible in this decoding, but I don't know enough about Apple's manufacturing history to swear by it. Neither of the links given by Mac128 identifies my M5359Xs as SE/30s.
