Nope. I said that '81 is too early for an 8060. Maybe you misunderstood that 'my datecode' - I'm born 66, so it must have been '83 when it appeared.
GregDunn:
I wish I could find the post, but a member actually emailed Fluke asking about the manufacture date on his 8060 and was told June 1980. Others have reported 1980-1981 chip dates on their units, which is not conclusive. But the easiest way would be to ask drtaylor the designer - if he doesn't know, no one does. ;)

Duh, got it. You were one of the lucky private persons that actually bought an 8060A at that time. (only a dream for me). :-+
GLouie:
Of course drtaylor will know. He posted several documents and some early flyers that are dated 1982.
I got my 8060A in July 1982 and my manual says March 1982, so I think at least in USA they were available by then. I suspect the 1981 date on early circuit boards is the original board design copyright date, which they might've used for several years.

8060 Prototype was in 81. First customer units in 1982.
