     I never owned a 1000/500/2000 either before I bought my 3000.  ;-)  I've
been following the machine about five years now though and own copies of some
of the 1.3 RKM's.  The RMK's for 2.0 are not written yet as 2.0 is not finished
yet.  The 2.0 operating system is SUBSTANTIALLY upgraded from 1.3  (about 256K
larger!), so you would probably be wasting your money with the 1.3 RKM's.
Go to your user group and borrow a set of 1.3 RKM's from someone if you want to
get your feet wet, the only other way to get information about 2.x internals is
to become a certified developer (which costs about $75 I think).
