I see a lot of people recommending the 2000xl over the 2000 classic but really whats the difference between the two? The only thing Ive noticed is that the 2000 classic uses floppies but Ive never used the 2000xl. I am looking to buy my first mpc and I am considering a used 2000 classic but don't want to buy a headache. Please help

XL reads wavs, has Auto Chrome, Timestrech, and supports internal ATAPI & SCSI devices, ive probably missed a few other things....

On 2k, OS 1.70 added the ability to use wavs.

Become familiar with each machine at a lower level ...

RTFM the 2000XL manual.

RTFM the 2000 original manual.
