Amstrad's 1988 successor to the 1640, with VGA on the board when VGA was still an expensive option elsewhere, and the 3.5-inch drive that the 2000 series became notorious for. Still an 8086, so it is slow for its date, but the integrated VGA makes it a tidy period machine for DOS graphics. The 2000-series hard disc problems are the reason to check what is fitted.
