The P2000 family I was talking about has four lines that are incompatible with each other. - The P2000T (cassette, 40 char video) / P2000M (disk, 80 char video) which was the most common here in The Netherlands. They were the same internally but had different video. Most programs were interchangable. A CP/M card was available for it from the Philips computer club. Also a floppy disk controller for the T that was compatible with the internal one in the M. - The P2000C luggable, the most advanced one, CP/M, even had a 8088 'CoPower' card available for it that could run MSDOS. You could attach an external hard disk via a SASI interface. It could read and write the disk formats from all the other members, and of a lot of CP/M systems too. - The P2000B/P2500, a CP/M disk system with 5.25i disks, monitor and disks in one cabinet like the P2000M, on top of a passive backplane cabinet like the Northstar with everything on cards. 8i floppy controller available.
