A rough rundown ... I'm sure others will correct me if there's an error
here.
OS 1.x was on the OMP, MP100, MP110 and early MP120.
OS 2.0 was on some MP120 and all MP130.
OS 2.1 was on the MP2000 and MP2100.
OS 2.2 was on the eMate (patched to read 2.1)
None of the OS 1.x machines can support NIE.
OS 2.0 was a major change. Here's the seven-page list of differences.

OS 2.1 added support for NewtWorks, grey scale, sound manager, NIE 2.0
OS 2.2 added what was needed for the eMate and added NewtWorks and Classroom
exchange to ROM.
