What is the difference between the PC-8201 and the PC-8201A? I've got two
PC-8201As, and what *seems* to be an PC-8201. It's a different, bronze,
colour and has "NEC PC-8201" printed on the top left-hand corner. However,
the silver sticker on the bottom of the computer says it is a PC-8201A.

How can I tell for sure which I have?
