The genaeology of the Amiga:

A1000 - the classic

A2000 - what happens when CBM Germany gets to play with design.
        this was sold in Europe and Canada for a while before
        the US design was ready.

B2000 - the West Chester version of the A2000, known as the A2000.
        this is the only version ever sold to the general public in the US.

A3000 - the latest.

So... the '2000', in general terms, is the 'B' version, but is what you know as
the A2000. If you haven't owned an 'A'2000, the German version, consider
yourself fortunate.
