simple answer yes you can :-)

to find out what version of rom you have in your A2000 let it boot with no HDD or floppy inserted and it will boot to the insert disk screen, it'll tell you the rom version there.

@Ryu

Not exactly true, A2000"A"s and some early "B"s needed some resitor
(or was it a capacitor ?) soldered to 2 pins of the ROM-socket to see
the 2nd 256K of 2.x/3.x-ROMs. Maybe there was even more to it, but
my memory isn't what it was ....
