Atari Lynx II here Atari Lynx II there. I'm confused.

I'm always seeing Lynx II. Ebay, DP, Mars, everywhere (not literally of course) and it looks like a Lynx, the one that i saw at k-mart when i was kid. So, is there a Lynx "I" and if so whats the difference? And if i'm an idiot and thats been the name of the Lynx (Type 2) all along, then well, i'll shut up.

The Lynx (not technically called "Lynx I" but it was the original model) is longer/wider, has a dark gray case (instead of black). The Lynx II also has a backlight on/off feature, better battery life, and a headphone jack.

sorry for the necrobump, but just for posterity's sake, I have to correct this slight bit of misinfo... both versions have a headphone jack.

maybe you heard about how they apparently hooked it up wrong in model 1 and wound up with mono sound out of both ears and got that confused. but the sound wasn't even that great anyway so I wouldn't worry (and I'm sure someone's modded it by now anyway)
