While I wouldn't argue 90%, I'd wager that a
significantly large
percentage of 2000s were sold as Toaster machines. They were
astronomically expensive for what you got when they were available.
The 2000 was a workhorse Amiga, I would expect them to sell hundreds of
thousands of them (anyone have production numbers?). Were there more then
30K Toaster boards sold?
Quite a few A2000 Toasters on ebay are just generic 2000's that somebody
stuck a Toaster card into because it makes the whole setup worth more. Those
systems are missing the stickers you stuck to the expansion slot to label
all the ports.
