The old one is the first original one that first came out.
The sound chip on that one is the 6581 and all games with speech played well, such as BeachHead I and II.
BUT on the second one the sound chip the 6580 was poor at the speech side of the games that had speech.
However the screen display was better than the original.
Reason some of the chips was different to the original.
The original (mostly) had plug in chips that made life a lot easier if they were to be replaced the main chips was mostly the SID 6581, the VIC 6520, and the 3 ROM chips (cant remember the numbers now). and in some cases the CPU 6510.
I would use the original any day compared to the newer type, simply because the sound was better.
