In ANALOG a few years back, there was one program that did something to the
keyboard (I think it made the key repeat rate faster) and I believe that the
article mentioned that it worked on the XL's except for the 1200XL.  It was
a long time ago, so I can't be sure.  But if this is the case, it would seem
that some timing vectors or such may be marginally altered in the 1200XL.  In
any event, I seem to remember that the difference, if any, was not great.
