It is not possible to upgrade them to 2.0 as the OS is on a ROM chip not
flash RAM. It was possible at one time to upgrade a MP120 from 1.3 to
2.0 (the early units had 1.3) but only by sending it back to Apple and
having them replace the chip. Since the H1000 design was significantly
different from the 120 I don't think such chips would be compatible.
But even if they where, if you got a working 120, why try and upgrade
the H1000 when you have a better model already in your possession. ;)
