Anyone know how the Korg 01/W got its model name? An interesting story...

This is what i heard years ago:

A few years after the introduction of the M1, a Korg Executive was sitting at his desk, and a developer wrote on a piece of paper the name of a proposed new workstation to be the predecessor of the M1... the M/10. He happened to look at the name upside-down and saw 01/W...

Is there any confirmation of this?

I heard something a bit different. I heard Korg had a Xmas party and he saw this note but he was totally drunk, stoned and was having illicit relations with a female employee and she had an accent was screaming ohh one dubaya. I can neither confirm nor deny this story due to fear for my life should I reveal anything further. Remember I have plausible deniablility. Wink
