What are the major differences between a A2000 NTSC and a A2000 PAL computer?

Thanks,   Dan


none.
there is a pad on the motherboard next to agnus that determines the default (pal or ntsc).  or you can switch your amiga to pal or ntsc in early startup.

I thought some of the earlier Agnus chips could only do one mode, but maybe those didn't come in 2000s.

it did come on come A2000/500s.
maybe with 4.x revisions (although I do have one board hanging on the wall and it has a jumppad as well).
So in general the switching would not work if Agnus did not support it (Agnus 8370 NTSC and 8371 PAL found on some rev 4.x and rev5 and earlier A500s.  8370 was made in separate versions).
the Agnus is the exact chip in newer revisions (6 and up) : 8372A     318069-02 for pal and ntsc.

@Dannyp
Curious, why did you ask this question?
