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.
If I remember correctly, the toaster was available as a separate
upgrade for the 2000. But NewTek also sold 2000s pre-installed with
toaster. I think those machines are the ones with the stickers on the
front and back, and maybe the color-coded keyboards.
Maybe the toaster board came with those stickers in the box, and
people just didn't put them on. I'm not sure. But my 2000/toaster
came from a video editing company that went out of business. It was
just a 2000 with a toaster in it (as well as a few other things), no
stickers.
