the rotary knob is definetly NOT the main difference!

True. It is one of the most obvious differences, but I would enlist the differences as follow:

• Front panel changed, nice wing like design.


• rotary knob adds some functions to the front interface


• Ethernet interface added


• More RAM (the MkIIa adds some more)


• Single channel IDE controller instead of the dual channel one in the MkI


• Tuner module interface for the MkII, the MkI had a tuner included

There might be some minor other changes, but I guess, these were the most important ones.
