842.1German vs West ChesterMPGS::BAEDERThu Oct 22 1987 21:2512
    the a2000 is the offical product name, BUT when used in ref to A/B
    means the german design...this is not being sold in this country...
    
    ALL the amiga2000's being sold in the usa are B2000's ie the
    westchester design....even though they are in a german box...
    (lots of noise on usenet over this...)
                
    Internal diffs include where the 512k of ram goes..(ie the 2nd 512k)
    on the motherboard, or on a seperate card, and a few other minor
    diffs for manufacture....
    but to me...they are all great machines...now, the $64,000 ?? is
        to upgrade, or not....

    a couple other differences:
    
    all of the A2000s reviewed in the magazines are the german design.
    
    The B2000 has a monochrome composite out RCA jack and an enhanced
    video slot.

    Besides, the *real* German version has 320/640 x 256/512 display
    - or 32 lines worth of text...
