Unfortunately this model was never released to the public, apparently however several prototypes were built and shown. Some demo machines may have reached dealers but this has not been confirmed. I have seen conflicting reports that this machine was designed after the A4000 and A1200 and was designed as a mid-range machine between the two. Other reports have said that the A2200 was built before the A4000 and was scrapped, but much of the research was used in the building of the A4000.
