I'm not sure what the serial number is on my disk, there are two
numbers.  The first, typed directly on the label is S-267, and the
other, on a piece of tape, is 030096.102.  Perhaps the 102 is the
release number.

To perhaps clarify further, the disk I'm running is a CopyIIMac (v6.3)
backup. (I absolutely refuse to run the original disk of anything!)
Never bothered to check the System file version number, but like most
commercial products, it's probably older than the SE version.  I've
never had FltSim scramble the Desktop file either, just make sure that
all hard disk windows are closed.  (Hard Disk is the stock SE Apple
(Rodime)).
