The ROM versions are dependent on the motherboard in the computer.  It has
been reported that the earliest 2001-N computers had the same motheroard
as the original PET.  These could run original Basic or the upgraded
Basic(Basic 2 or 3).

Most 2001-N's had the later version of motherboard.  These could run any
version of PET ROM.

Your bast bet on identifying ROM's is to read the part numbers on the
ROM's.

You do not indicated which version of keyboard you have.  The graphic
keyboard has 20 keys on the numeric keypad, the business keyboard has 11.
