Is it possible to fit a 2.0 ROM on the Kickstart adapter?


You can use 1.2 up to 3.1

It's easier to find RAM upgrades for A2000, however A1000 does have TV out and color composite output built in.  Perhaps, if you can customize one of the kickstart adapter boards, you can write a driver to use the 256KB of kickstart RAM at $FC0000..$FFFFFF for memory and have 768KB RAM.
