What you have is an original messagepad, the very first Apple shipped. You
can't upgrade it to OS 2.x. You can put 1.05 on it, but that's about
it. You can install packages onto the Newton via serial from your PC
laptop. OS 2.0 is 8MB, and it's ROM only. There is no way to upgrade
anything but an MP120 to OS 2.0. MP130 and MP2000/2100 and eMate 300 units
shipped with OS 2.0 or 2.1.

Sorry. Hope that helps clear up the confusion.
