Our -200 had auto-brakes and spoilers, but that was it as far as automation went. To be honest I cannot remember if we had altitude capture on the autopilot or not. I really don't think so. No auto-throttles of course.
I had a love/hate relationship with the auto-spoilers on the -200. Sometimes it would save a good landing and other times destroy a great landing. I never got the number of grease on landings I had in the -100s in the -200s, but in my defense I didn't have near as much time in the -200 that I did in the -100.
