The 120 upgrade from 1.3 to 2.0 is a hardware upgrade - you need to find
the new ROM chips.

No current seller of Newton parts (including Apple) has these ROMs. A
many people before me have said, they are "made of unobtanium." The
*only* way to do this upgrade now is to buy a 120/2.0 and swap the ROMs,
which would be kind of pointless.
