Most simply, a B2000 is a later production Amiga 2000. An earlier model of the Amiga 2000, called the A2000, was very little more than a repackaged A1000 with Kickstart ROM, a CPU slot, and ZorroII and IBM slots. The B2000 added the RT clock, video slot, improved CPU slot, BUSTER chip, heftier power supply, and some other design changes. As far as I know only the early Amiga 2000's were A2000's while the vast majority are B2000's (as the current production models are.) I believe that the A2000 is the German design while the B2000 is the US design. Software-wise, they are identical to each other as they are identical to the A1000. This is off the top of my head, so really a C-A person should verify all this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raining CATS and DOGS?
