>Almost. The ROMs are different.

Sure, but the ID isn't in the ROM (well, I don't think it is). So the
hardware should exist with both versions of the OS.
Hence, either it computes the ID in some random way (like the
Ethernet MAC address on MacOS), and the function is only present on
NOS 2.0, or the ID chip is there on both units and only used with NOS
2.0, or the NewtonScript function is there only with OS 2.0.

BTW, I happened to see and use a MP120/1.3-F today. It seemed really
slow compared to the MP120/2.0 US I have used several months ago.
Does anyone confirm this impression?

Paul
