A friend of mine who is working with KS1.4 says that it indeed does need
512K of rom but that A1000s with expansion memory will have a KS disk
which will load into both WCS and 256K of expansion memory. Exactly how
this mechanism will work is unknown to this individual; my friend 
suggests that it will possibly require booting under 1.3 and then
giving some command to load the 1.4 KS.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.  I don't have the cash for a 2000
right now, so even a kludge would be acceptable.  So it seems to me
that BOTH rumors are true :-).
